When you're working/coding you should never have to use the mouse, except for say, positioning windows, etc. Use the Keyboard Preferences to add or change shortcuts for your most-used commands. This can be done system-wide or on a per-application basis. For example, give the "Access Menu Bar" command a better shortcut, such as Option+Space; give Window Zoom a shortcut (I use command+control+Z), etc. In your most-used apps, explore the menu bar to see what keyboard shortcuts are already available, learn them, assign shortcuts for commands you use the most. And make sure the software you write can also be navigated using the keyboard, assign thoughtful keyboard shortcuts, etc.
