Reading this reminded me of the (long forgotten) single key instruction keyboard (you press key O and you get the pOke command). Its almost like an autocomplete :-) Is that still a thing for any computing device today? Fascinating to read they did this due to hardware limitations, but it would seem to have some instructional advantages on a first programming device.

> Is that still a thing for any computing device today? Yes, many graphing calculators still work that way. But in regards to the ZX computer nowadays, people usually go to the Gosh Wonderful ROMs that allows typing in full letters.
