For your point in 1) that won't apply on any kind of navigation. I have to ls -l / dir multiple times to view whats in my folder and go back up with various key presses, versus just hitting the breadcrumb in windows explorer.
Not sure I fully understand 2-4 but the fundamentals still remain, i want to do a git pull i alt tab to my command line, already two presses, then i find my src directory, and pull. Or just right click on my IDE and click pull?
- jshevek 8y agoIf I want a refreshed list of my homedir, the first time is simply ls ~ Subsequent refreshes are simply C-p Dragging over to that breadcrumb is tedious and time consuming, by comparison

Or you're using Magit, in case of which it's "C-x g" to switch to magit from any buffer associated with project (a file, compilation output, whatever), and then "F p" to issue a pull from origin. Which is 4 key presses (6, counting CTRL and Shift), and likely in your muscle memory. Every other git command is accessible similarly. Point being, for any mouse interface like this, you could - and in vim/Emacs, often do - have a similar, but more ergonomic keyboard interface. Points 2-4) were about showing that this applies to almost all software in general, not just to editing code.
