Great point on the context switching. It made me think about how I've setup my keyboard and use my editor. I always opt for a compact numpad-less keyboard with a trackpad right next to it. I like to have the trackpad as close to the keyboard as possible. I'm a vim user, and what this means is that while I mostly use the keyboard, I can quickly switch over to the trackpad as an auxiliary input for certain movements. I know the common refrain with vim is to learn how to do things without the mouse... and I certainly can do that pretty effectively. But after over 10 years of vim, I find that using a little bit of trackpad can actually save a lot of time.
