with glass ttys you learnt pretty quickly not to use
them across tcp connections.  things like vi would use
a timer to collect a multibyte [arrow key] sequences.
bad stuff would happen if part of the sequence arrived
late.

if you take this 'put it all on the keyboard' philosophy
to the limit you'd have an unworkably large keyboard,
and it'd always be missing a key.

it'd probably be easier to move to japan.  some of
the keyboards are something else; overlays to re-map
the array of functions/keys/...
