> Similar point -- the menus would still be accessible over vnc.

Yes, of course, but if I do most of my work over vnc then the payoff
for me is small, since I'm using the menu most of the time anyway.  And
then I can't rely on "muscle memory" when I want to move a window -- I
have to consciously think about whether I'm talking to vnc or not (lest
I wind up moving the whole vnc session).

And another thought: I think the real brilliance of chords in acme is
not that they optimize common operations, but that by optimizing a few
important operations they enable a different and more productive style
of working.  It's remarkable how much it has cut down on repetitive
typing for me.  On the other hand, I can't imagine chords ever having
the same sort of fundamental impact on the way I use the window
manager.  Which makes me question whether it's really worth doing.

None of this should dissuade you, of course, if you feel like trying
it.  In fact, if I remember tonight I'll send you the model number
for my mouse.
