Uhhh that would involve a mouse, gross ; )
- jessekv 2y agoDo you use a keyboard to browse the internet? On unfamiliar codebases a mouse with back and forward buttons can be quite a fast and convenient way to get the "lie of the land". I often do this inside GitHub's browser-based editor.
- worksonmine 2y ago> Do you use a keyboard to browse the internet? Yes, using the vimium extension. My only problem is text inputs like this one, my muscle memory expects vim keys to work and I type a lot of jibberish that I have to clean up. I know there are extensions for that too but I can live with it.
- Izkata 2y agoTridactyl has a native extension that lets you run external programs, such as popping up a gvim window for text inputs.

- jazzyjackson 2y agoI can definitely hit my Return key with more precision than I can drag a cursor over a 40x400px target but go off :P (I use a Superior Technologies trackball because it's the only mouse I could find manufactured in the USA and it's really not very precise, it's kind of a self handicap to nudge me towards keyboard shortcuts, muscle memory gains just have a steeper curve on keyboard than mouse)
- troupo 2y agoYou still need several key strokes to get there ;) So it's not as precise as an actual precision pointing device
- lacksconfidence 2y agoMaybe this is a physical development thing? Because i can't imagine a world in which my mouse is more accurate than my keyboard. The mouse requires two-way responsive action. I have to both move the mouse and observe the movement with my eyes to update the movement as necessary. With the keyboard there is no such coordination, I simply think the thing i want to happen and press the appropriate keys.
