Coding Horror: Revisiting "Keyboard vs. The Mouse, pt 1"
- edw519 19y agoThe "answer" to "Keyboard vs. The Mouse" is the same as almost every other "vs." question: it depends on how the software was designed and written.
- emfle 19y agoHowever, as Tog himself notes, when the keyboard shortcut is already memorized and well understood, it's a clear productivity win. Tog never says that as far as I can tell.
- pdubroy 19y agoYeah. Jeff's article makes it sounds as though Tog later refutes the original quote. But all he does is mention that Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V are exceptions because you can use them while using the mouse. IMO, the post that Jeff linked to in the comments (http://tinyurl.com/2odgua http://tinyurl.com/2odgua) provides a better criticism of Tog's keyboard vs. mouse claim.
