Goals

• Easy to learn almost as when use mouse– User see when will happen before command– User has least need to know something before

• ‘Ctrl+tab’ is the only that thing

– Consistent pattern to command• ‘Space’=select , ‘Enter’=finish, ‘Esc’=Cancel

• Effective more than when use mouse– Directly command to a lot of commands

• Hierarchy is not needed– Auto-suggest and Auto-complete everywhere it can

• Language Independent System
