I don’t see KTV in the index (or Knight TV), but the space cadet keyboard has a lovely photo spread and two pages describing its effect on vi and emacs, its many modifiers and math keys, and some other facts. There’s two other small mentions; a pair of photos comparing its depth to an thin Apple Magic Keyboard and a homebrew keyboard inspired by it. I took a flyer on this kickstarter and I’m really impressed by the results. It’s a beautiful labor of love. Incredible design and detail.

Emacs was developed on the KTV in TECO on ITS, and the space cadet keyboard was only on the lisp machine. How did the latter affect vi, which ran on different hardware and has a different model? Or Emacs, really? I wrote an awful lot of code using it but as I said it was unfortunately spongy.
