That would be missing the point. It does have limited keybindings ctrl-a = go to beginning of line ctrl-e = go to end of line ctrl-u = cut from point to beginning of line esc = select the last "stuff" just typed

The fact you can create your own "buttons" that do basically anything is pretty nice, but you REALLY want a 3 button pointing device to use it. It also doesn't care about the programming language you use to create such a button, but you will work with the filesystem metaphor provided by Acme itself to get things done.

I find the mouse interface is extremely fast, and when you couple it with the power of the plumber in Plan 9, it's a reasonably good way to navigate around a complex workflow.

It's also a reasonably small environment in terms of lines of code. The Go version (Edwood) is pretty good too! https://github.com/rjkroege/edwood

To sacrifice keyboard chording because mouse chording exists is... baffling.

You only have 4 bindings, You have at least 50 keys in your keyboard with 3 modkeys, That's a lot of combinations to do anything you wish for. Sure, use the mouse more, but to expect to not use standard keybindngs or adding any? It has to be a joke.

You can't even press the down key to go to the line below!
