There is no good reason for worse keyboard controls in a GUI, except that GUI users and coders love that dumb mouse...

@stack Not once did I argue for worse keyboard controls in a GUI, though. You should be able to navigate with anything used to control your computer. I feel like having a hotkey to swap from short cuts on the desktop and the task bar on a simplistic, say, cinnamon type desktop and pressing enter to 'click' things could be fine. That would still raise the question of how well you'd navigate other GUI applications however.

Do you browse the Geminispace with a GUI, TUI, or CLI client? — CLI = run in terminal with parameters to load a single page and immediately and automatically exit upon output, TUI = run in terminal once to load and navigate many pages in succession
