If you have a laptop with a trackpoint, become proficient with it. You can switch between mouse and keyboard without moving your fingers away from the home row.

- abhijat 7y agoI just disable the trackpad in all my laptops, I find it much harder to use than a trackpoint.
- soygul 7y ago> trackpad in all my laptops even in a macbook? it probably is the best part of macbooks in general
- ghaff 7y agoMacBooks were the first laptops I had where I actively liked the trackpad rather than grudgingly tolerated it. TBH, I've been pretty happy with the trackpads on my Chromebooks and Linux Thinkpads as well. It's mostly my one Windows laptop that I still feel I need to attach a mouse.
- sandfly 7y agoThe MacBook trackpads are definitely great. And the trackpoint looks like an anachronistic holdover from the early 90s next to a modern trackpad. However, it has survived because it's truly a useful productivity tool. It's a nice middle ground between having to move your hand between the keyboard and trackpad, or embracing a keyboard-only Vim approach.
