About the Canon Cat

The Canon Cat was a computer dedicated to writing and manipulating text, a lot like an electronic typewriter. For its inventor, Jef Raskin, computers were seen as tools that helps us create.

One innovation is the use of a leap key that allows the user to jump to a part of the text and come back. The keyboard had one of these on each side of the space bar.
