Yes, but to use those Vim commands your cursor already has to be at the right place. The main thing that slowed me down with Vim was moving my cursor to the right place, not executing commands.

I only gave double-clicking and triple-clicking as examples because I think clicking and dragging to highlight might be what slows down many click-and-type editor users.
