I don't think I'd go as far as to claim flow is bad, but there's something to that.
I'm a long term emacs user and between changing keyboards a few times and an unfortunate spell of a few years using an IntelliJ-based IDE with Emacs Keybindings that are far better than most but inevitably off (most infuriatingly, to conclude an incremental search you use Ctrl-g, which in actual emacs jumps you back to where you started the search) my reflexes are all over the place. I'm therefore having to force myself to slow down and be consciously aware of everything I do.
I'm finding it a really useful exercise for more than just the retraining aspect. It does seem to increase my overall engagement with the task I'm carrying out, beyond just the operation of the tool.
