Quite frankly, I don't understand Plan9 in general and Acme in
particular. I've just tried once again the latest 9front
and things seemed even more counter-intuitive then the previous
time.

I also dislike using mouse/touchpad, unless gaming.
When I moved to keyboard-driven things such as vi, dwm/dmenu/st
(I was using Xfce long before and GNOME even earlier), I tried
switching back but noticed that I tried to cycle windows with
Alt+j/k, destroying them with Ctrl+Alt+x and so on.
Muscle memory, if you want. With mouse you probably can never
reach the productivity of keyboard. Also I see Acme as Emacs of
Plan9.
