If you haven't yet, you may want to read The Humane Interface [1] (and test is working prototype Archy).
It's a description of a user interface that works exactly as you say, yet looks completely different that what you describe.

- webwanderings 12y agoWell, this idea came to mind as I was taking that Linux Edx MOOC course. I am not a programmer, but if I were, I would have built that kind of OS for myself. I think the GUI movement in the history of computers, has fundamentally diverted the real nature of computers. I am not a CLI-Nazi but going back to basics in a substantive way, is not a bad idea. Besides, there has been too much significance for mouse/pointing-device. Could we possibly have directly jumped from keyboard-only computing to touch screen? I see why not.
