Re: Do developers use vim exclusively or alternate with an IDE?

Excerpts from Gerald Klein's message of Mon Jan 13 19:44:32 +0100 2014:
> Moving around without the mouse is definitely quicker
No, its not. Its only "faster" if you have to move the hands to mouse
first.

At the beginning it was very very very hard for my brain to even think
about which way is faster for a use case - the end of the story: I gave
up on the mouse, too.

There are keyboards with mousepads which make the choice simpler.

There are additional ideas such as
http://www.combimouse.com/ (being developped for years, so this will
never happen eventually).

I personally feel the future is a programmable touch area which can
serve as mouse / keyobard at the same time with gestures to type
key series .. - but yeah - still using a "default" keyboard myself.

Anyway - without knowing about the use cases where this "problem which
is faster" happens most we cannot help causing bias on either side.
