      Yeah, and pretty sure it was called the butter bar before Gmail chat. @kfury is that right?

      Yup. It was the 'notification bar' and it was either butter yellow or bright red depending on the use case. The name 'butter bar' stuck. cc @zhanna

      Then there's the 'fun bar'/'awesome bar' which is a whole other story.

      That rings a bell, but I might be thinking of Firefox? (AFAIR Firefox’s awesome bar was the equivalent of Chrome’s omnibox, which deserves its own oral history.)

      This book idea has legs... but it might be just us old timers that would buy it.

      I think that’d be the exact challenge: to make it relevant. I’m sure there are interaction patterns/approaches/lessons here that are universal. Perhaps you go back further in time, and next chapter do an oral history of something very new

      (If it’s just nostalgia fest, I don’t think it’d be particularly interesting.)

      Imagine how much you could learn about (and get excited about) text input processing from reading about the vision + details + bugs + successes of something like Omnibox or Google Suggest.

      And god knows we still need designers to be excited about text input. I will shut up now. :·)

      Yeah, one thing my team does now is text input and keyboards for VR/AR (in 3D engines). Every step of the way we figure out if there’s a way we can borrow from elsewhere in Google or if we should create it from scratch. Lasso typing, emojis, cursor movement, voice input, etc.

      Anything that’s shared publicly? Asking in the professional capacity as a writer of a book about keyboards. :·)

          Hmm, so far the Daydream Keyboard is most interesting in terms of ergonomics & what’s comfortable for a laser pointer-style interaction. We should do a more detailed blog post. My favorite exploratory VR keyboard we’ve shown is what we call “Drum Keys”:https://youtu.be/QYwzSEAyn2M
