Sorry for posting such a nebulous question...

Is anyone using Django web apps as heads-down transaction processing 
applications that are heavy in the areas of:

  - Lots of data entry
  - Lots of "instant, right now" demands like POS

A few - slightly more specific - issues:

- What about data entry into a web form. Data entry people use 'Enter' 
to move between fields, not Tab. And they won't touch a mouse.
- Data entry people use lots of F-keys, Ctrl-keys and Alt-keys to make 
things happen on the screen.
- Screens need to save and return *fast*. Instantaneous response is 
expected.
- Printouts need precise on-paper placement and instant delivery (no 
pop-ups to select printer or preview).
- Screens are dense with lots of tightly-packed fields.
- There may be requirements to interface with barcode scanners and 
magstripe scanners (probably USB connected). Is it possible to integrate 
these with a web app.

Is anyone running apps like this?
Can the above issues be dealt-with?
Can a browser provide the right kind of UI for these demanding but 
unexciting applications?

Any insight appreciated,
Michael
