For those of you on HN who haven't seen it yet, I strongly encourage watching Doug Engelbart's "Mother of all Demos" [1]. You'll be amazed by what technology was in development in 1968. Keyset was just one part of the demo.

It was such an anachronistic experience when I watched it the first time. You start questionning our societies' ability to let progress emerge.

This reminds me of Siemens RTL Titling WM demo[1] from '87.
