- Cursor keys for browsing interface
- ----------------------------------
-
- Many hypertext systems use a mouse for selecting information
- for detailed exploration. However, the MaxThink developer
- prefers "arrow key browsing" of information, for the
- following reasons:
-
- (1) Arrow keys are faster than moving a mouse
- (2) Arrow keys are familiar to most computer users
- (3) Arrow keys let you keep your hands on the keyboard
-
- (4) Arrow keys require less hand/eye coordination
- (5) Arrow keys are easily learned in a minute
- (6) Arrow keys are sufficient for all link operations
-
- Opinion -- While 90 % of all information is visual, 90% of
- ======= recorded knowledge is in textual formats ...
- perhaps arrows are best for textual formats.
