Have you played with Plan9 the operating system and its windowing system?

or at least the Acme editor, which is also available for Mac and various Unix systems like Linux, FreeBSD etc.

Plan9 (which I actually used for a few years) is caught in the anachronism trap of requiring a three-button mouse to effectively use rio.

It became unbearably obtuse to use on a laptop, and I didn’t like any of the workarounds, so I eventually upgraded my “terminal” to Linux and a custom LXDE setup.
