Still, it's not alt tab with the press-hold-release which is always quicker than doing gesture->arrow to select something->enter.

- colinmhayes 5y agoCompletely disagree. Doing three finger swipe x times is just as fast if not faster than keyboard shortcuts that require you hunt down the window you're looking for.
- loginatnine 5y agoIt's objectively slower when you need to leave the keyboard with one hand to reach your touchpad. I'm thinking about a desktop environment here where 1. you might not even have a touchpad and 2. you have your both hands on the keyboard.
- mechanical_bear 5y agoI don’t think the literal fraction of a second difference matters.
- loginatnine 5y agoIt matters after a long day and it adds up. On top of the time lost, it's also a matter of ease of use.
- colinmhayes 5y agoI mean maybe if you're using vim all the time, but most of my apps require mouse interface, so my hand is usually near the trackpad. Even when I'm using external monitors I still use the laptop keyboard and trackpad.
- loginatnine 5y agoGood for you if it works, but it doesn't for me and I find it cumbersome.
