Great, but... a zx virtual keyboard, on a floating window, is needed !

The zx spectrum is the first computer I ever owned and Fuse is the best emulator ever I absolutely love it truly awesome great job!

Fuse is one of the few (only?) cross-platform Speccy emulators that genuinely tries to fit in UI-wise on every platform. Thus, it looks and feels like a native macOS app—just the way it should be.
