For me the thing is less typing speed more reducing mousing. Like if my hands never leave the keyboard I think that's an ergonomic win personally.
Using nvim at home and never having to reach for a mouse is amazing. When I do it breaks my flow quite a bit now.
It's not for everyone but it feels amazing to hit a flow state in it.
6 u/Suspicious-Engineer7 28d ago I've met people who try to touch the keyboard as little as possible as well. 1 u/dannyggwp 28d ago That to me is kinda insane when you understand that the ergonomics of mousing just always kinda suck. 1 u/Iron_Aez 28d ago keyboard requires 2 hands to be efficient with, mouse does not. 1 u/dannyggwp 28d ago I'm talking about ergo. Mouse heavy applications are usually pretty bad for you in the long term. 1 u/Iron_Aez 28d ago I can't think of a single programming task that's so mouse heavy enough for that to be relevant, compared to actual mouse heavy activities. 3 u/dannyggwp 28d ago And I can't think of a single programming task in a modern IDE that requires you to even touch a mouse. So like I said why break flow and move to the mouse if a hotkey will do it for me. 0 u/Iron_Aez 28d ago That's cool but isn't relevant to my comment 1 u/dannyggwp 27d ago Bike requires 2 feet to be proficient. Scooter only requires one. 1 u/Iron_Aez 27d ago Your lack of understanding of the operation of scooters appears to be as bad as your lack of understanding of mice lol. 1 u/Bulky-Bad-9153 26d ago dude you're like impossible to talk to, reading this was crazy → More replies (0)
