hnb, in Debian, is pretty close.
Did you mean "without a mouse"?

No, at least not recently. I'll give it a try. A lot of todo things
lack hieararchy, which is a really important feature for me.
For the record, if anyone else is curious, here are some notes I made
on programs that are kind of in this area. This is mostly from a
couple of years ago:
General database
----------------
edb Emacs database. See separate entry. Some promise.
Installed.
pybliographer for BibTex and others
quicklist Very simple database builder and user. Installed.
records-* daily notes in emacs, with index
gaby
Postgres and gnome support
MySql
ToDo, Bug
---------
debbugs debian bug system
gtimer - GTK-based X11 task timer
karm - A time tracker for KDE
webrt Web request tracker. Not installed.
devtodo Very simple command line tool
request-tracker1 Request Tracker helps you handle and track problem reports,
it features
web interfaces for queue administration and report submitting and sends out
email with replies and comments to those reports.
korganizer KDE todo, appointments, etc
evolution includes todo list
emacs-goodies-el includes a todo mode; it is primitive and poorly documented
opie-* has todo component, but is oriented to embedded systems
mnemo Horde component, not really todo oriented
nag mulituser Horder todo
Yank is a simple notekeeper and todo-list manager using the gnome and
gtk libraries.
Thinking
-----------------
gzigzag Ted Nelson's latest. Multidimensionall and ordinal.
Installed.
hnb Hierarchical notebook. Kind of a poor man's grandview.
Since I have the real thing, I don't see much advantage.
<FILE>/usr/local/src/hnb*</FILE>. I uninstalled it.
thoughttracker A non-hierarchical hyperlinked knowledge base.
I don't think I've tried it.
remembrance-agent Emacs mode to help find relevant texts
The Remembrance Agent is one of the projects being developed by the MIT
Media Lab's software agents group. Given a collection of the user's
accumulated email, usenet news articles, papers, saved HTML files and other
text notes, it attempts to find those documents which are most relevant to
the user's current context. That is, it searches this collection of text
for the documents which bear the highest word-for-word similarity to the
text the user is currently editing, in the hope that they will also bear
high conceptual similarity and thus be useful to the user's current work.
These suggestions are continuously displayed in a small buffer at the
bottom of the user's emacs buffer. If a suggestion looks useful, the full
text can be retrieved with a single command.
Woody is a hierarchical text editor/outliner. It allows you to
group related bits of information together into a common
meaningful category. It is similar to BrainForest for the Palm
Pilot. I like it, though it's text based and lacks gv's extra tags.
