For me it was remembering what my bindings were for every little thing. I’m a guy who built his own keyboard for extra macro keys. I have 12 extra off the left side. It worked out very nicely, and it was a pretty smooth experience. Until I was using my computer to laze about at 11pm with a slightly foggy mind.
I just don’t want to think about how to move incredibly quickly around the computer. Easy point and click is all the effort I want to muster, sometimes.
- nickjj 6y ago> I just don’t want to think about how to move incredibly quickly around the computer. Easy point and click is all the effort I want to muster, sometimes. Right. This is an important thing to note. It takes a lot of mental energy to remember all of these things if they are not already imbued into your brain as effortless muscle memory. Sometimes that energy is better off spent solving the problem you're trying to solve. This is why after about a year of using Vim, I still use the mouse once in a while. I remember once reporting a bug with the Microsoft Terminal (I use WSL 2 on Windows) on Reddit and when I mentioned mouse support didn't work inside of programs like Vim, it was the most down voted comment I ever created on any platform with swarms of folks saying I wasn't using the terminal as it was supposed to and that I must be an idiot for wanting to select text in Vim with a mouse. Luckily they fixed the bug (it ended up being one of the highest priority bug fixes they had).
