I do most file operations in a terminal because I can switch between my editor and the terminal without picking up the mouse. I do use a file manager to organize media files.

The mouse is not a requisite for a GUI file manager

  Very true https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/. I3 is a great WM that allows you to avoid having to use the mouse. That said I now work in the Windows world. I find that if you are using the same tools day in day out then the keyboard is the way to go. If you have to use new tools every other week the GUI is hands down much better. Unfortunately in my role I'm doing exactly that.

    For what it's worth, Windows Explorer has very good keyboard support.

      I can't disagree there. Unfortunately bespoke manufacturing software barely has a usable gui in most cases.
