Guiding users away from CD and ls

  The idea here is to click instead of type, but to me, the terminal is about not using the mouse in the first place. Same reason I like vim over vs code

    Exactly this. When I'm using the terminal or other command line, my hands are nowhere near my mouse. I very much don't want to use the mouse in that situation. The converse is also true: when I'm using a GUI, I very much want to minimize the use of the keyboard. The two devices are physically mutually exclusive: I can't use them at the same time, so they represent two natural and distinct "modes" of input.
