- SUN's 3470 terminal emulator for NeWS included a full keyboard on the
- screen; this was good because 3470 has lots of weird keys and
- sometimes it's just a major pain to look up on a cheat sheet what key
- combination on your terminal makes a "Send Page" or whatnot.

- How you do this in VR, I don't know. Here are two possibilities for
- an encumbered-style keyboard:
-
- 1) Casio MIDI saxophone. These things were consumer
- toys, little electronic saxes. I've got mine running
- as a computer keyboard and plan to switch over in an
- attempt to deal with tendonitis.
-
- 2) Strap a 5-key chord keyboard to your left thigh.
