    Go into librarian with all Developer items selected and lookup the word
    'keyboard'.  Result?  82 entries found.

    I think part of the documentation problem, and I do stress 'part', is
    that librarian simply sucks when it comes to finding things.  It takes
    forever because you invariably get umpteen entries with no
    prioritization... most of the entries are useless to you and you have
    to go through them one at a time.  Librarian really ought to prioritize
    entries meaning that NeXT has to think up of some way to embed specific
    references in the documentation.
