Mouse button clicks are generally for lazy, laid back behavior and not for fast and productive. You are supposed to use keyboard for that. Although there are definitely some cases where their UI fails and multiple windows of the same app is usually among them, like alt+tab is absolutely useless in this scenario on unity, it's way faster to use mouse to switch between them if you have to work with more than two of them on a single workspace.
- pkd 10y agoYou can use alt + ~ to switch between open windows of the same application. Long pressing the super(windows) key shows more shortcuts.
- zzzcpan 10y agoThanks, didn't notice it.
- Shorel 10y agoPftt. You can be fast with both. Any Starcraft player knows that. The fact that you are slow with the mouse is not something that can be generalized to all the population. Yes, I know I always get down-votes whenever I mention this.
- zzzcpan 10y agoPer Fitts's law [1], your screen is a lot bigger than the keyboard and your pointer is a lot farther from most targets, than your fingers on the keyboard that you keep on those "asdf" "jkl;" keys. So you can't be faster with mouse on most shortcuts most of the time. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fitts's_law
- Shorel 10y agoUsing a good mouse and disabling mouse acceleration I can certainly be quite fast, only a fraction of a second slower than using a keyboard shortcut. With mouse acceleration, or with a trackpad, I think I agree with you. It also depends on the task. I can select and move a piece of text from one place to another faster with the mouse than with any way of keyboard shortcuts. For example, using vim shortcuts I have to count the number of lines I need to move the cursor before typing the order and it is always faster for me to just move the mouse cursor than to count the lines.
- zzzcpan 10y agoThe task is a point-and-click interface, for other tasks keyboards are not very useful of course, having only things to click on them and all.
- Kenji 10y agoSee, that's precisely the attitude I mean. I want something and I know what I want, but Unity devs and people like you are certain that I am mistaken and do, in fact, not know what I want. That is precisely why I do not like Unity.
