for me it is a fact.
I still use the mouse from time to time when editing text mind you. But for most actions, I would not think of moving my hand to the mouse, because it is slow.
Even before vim, I made gratuitous use of end of line navigation via keyboard (home/end buttons; cmd+arrow keys). vim is just a more powerful version of those buttons.
I make no claim that vim is the MOST efficient platform ever created, but it's a lot faster than mouse+keyboard and/or out of the box editing methods.
- hasperdi 4y agoI would like to leave this link to SO page on mouse vs keyboard... You may be faster with a keyboard, but may ONLY feel faster with the keyboard. https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/30682/are-there-any-recent-studies-of-the-keyboard-vs-mouse-issue https://ux.stackexchange.com/questions/30682/are-there-any-r...
- cuddlecake 4y agoThe link feels irrelevant, because it is not related to vim and text editing. Or does it?
