Since we already have various keyboard-related features that don't
work on text-mode terminals, I see no reason to object to another one.
Eventually, an idea that Emacs should not have any features that
cannot be had on TTY is an idea that will keep Emacs from acquiring
very useful features.  Our policy should be (and is, AFAIK) that we
provide on TTY everything we can, but do not reject features which
cannot work on TTYs.
