I have been working in a visually impaired school and I told to the list what I saw. For me is easier to use the mouse than the keyboard-shortcuts, but for blind people mouse is useless and they are heavy users of computers, it is not the same as your example. How can you open a new terminal in rio without mouse? Also, in Plan9 everything is text, this could help to easily translate this text to braille display or to a voice synthesizer software. They don't need 3D effects, icons or complicated windows manager, only a simple way to move in rio without mouse, and a way to get the computer output in their braille display or voice synthesizer. Plan9 as research system could also work in this area, in a homogeneous way than others big and crufty systems. Antonio
