<div dir="ltr">In the mid 90s, I supervised a group that used Oberon. They complained about the interface. I asked them, when they were using Windows, did they try to use Oberon actions. I suggested that when they tried to translate Oberon actions to Windows but not the other way around, that said that Oberon was the better design.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 4, 2016 at 8:47 PM, eas lab <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:lab.eas@gmail.com" target="_blank">lab.eas@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">> I am habituated navigating using arrow key.<br>

</span>Oberon is a VISUAL system, like pencil drawing on paper.<br>
The hand moves automatically provided the eye sees.<br>

Perhaps you should abandon Oberon which conflicts with many people's brain.<br>
<br>
wily too, which from plan9 is based on Oberon, is not popular.<br>
Many users would prefer to type in<br>
/mnt/h11/PhysicalSpace/DirTest/MedCrnFlks/2015<br>
than to recognise it on the screen, and select it via one mouse action.<br>
