Starcraft supports the theory that mouse is much better for positioning and selection than keyboard. It's so much better, it's worth it keeping one hand at the mouse.
I mean, that was what the vi fans I met in my youth tried to deny. They claimed positioning by incremental search was better.
In a late uncle's stuff, I came across a copy of "The psychology of human computer interaction" by Stuart K. Card et al. A book from the early eighties detailing Xerox PARC UI research. They did a study comparing cursor keys (or vi keys), word and line keys (home, end, next word etc.), incremental search and mousing. They found the same as Apple later would.
- simonh 7y agoI wonder how many of the people who did the PARC research, and the people who did the later Apple research, were the same people.
