The odd thing is that the Linux version of the mini does need the
mouse. You can't ctrl+tab from buffer to buffer and selecting or
creating a new buffer doesn't automatically move keyboard focus to it.
On Windows these things do work. If it weren't for those things I
don't think I'd need to use the mouse with it; I don't think i do
under Windows.

Yes, indeed, but of course that involves more than just the interface.
I heard gossip that that might be hard to add to ChucK, or at least
harder than previously imagined.
