The number of excessive keystrokes is largely irrelevant (as long as it isn't an order of magnitude too much), because typing the code on keyboard is generally far from the limiting factor for the speed of writing code. Most of the time you spend thinking about what you should be typing. So optimizing for the number of keystrokes is optimizing for the wrong metrics
