This is how I'd love my OS to work.

I don't know why every program has to have it's own editor inside it.

I'd love to always type text in the same tool, with the same keybindings. It would open so much doors like the one mentioned in the article

What makes this keyboard philosophical? Will it hurt my head when I use it?

Not sure if you are being tongue-in-cheek or not but it is a reference to

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosopher's_stone

. A keyboard that turns minor things to "gold".

Good question. Nothing, far as I can tell.

I can imagine that would be useful for accelerating philosophical writing and probably many kinds of writing. I could see a version of this being useful for trying to search through someone else's work too. I can imagine cases in which pulling up multiple links in some order may be part of the goal as well.

I don't know if we've ever met before. I'm h0p3. `/handshake`
