Then there are users that maybe only use one hand for the keyboard, the other one for the mouse. I am not sure whether you can have both hands on the mouse. Consequently, there are different groups of users. Until now, Squeak's keyboard-only support is rather sketchy. We should work on that.

There's also the laptop world - where you may have both hands on the keyboard at the same time as a digit (thumb usually I'd guess) on a trackpad, which means that you *could* have scenarios where holding down a key whilst moving the cursor does stuff. Maybe 'r'+drag would resize the active window, for example.

Is that good idea? No idea - I don't use laptops so couldn't really say.

And let's not completely forget tablets; I know there isn't a lot of support that we have for the rather different UI operation there, but it would be nice if we could get there. One day I hope to get a contemporary iPad Pro, for example. I mean, only been working on projects to make the damn things since 1987.
