That is a very weird set of findings.
This one in particular:

seems to indicate the study was done on people with no familiarity at all with the software they were testing.
Either way, I don't think there is any evidence out there supporting that either of keyboard-only or mouse-only is faster or equivalent to keyboard+mouse for well known GUIs.
- Jensson 1y agoI code with mouse to move the cursor, and I coded fast enough to compete with the fastest in the world in competitive coding. So I don't think keyboard is significantly faster, if it were I wouldn't have been able to write solutions as fast as the fastest in the world did. But I think its fair to say that its much easier to learn to use a mouse effectively than keyboard navigation, so most people are probably faster with a mouse. I did try to use keyboard only editors, spend a lot of time on that, but I was always much faster with mouse cursor to navigate and rearrange or copy parts of the code.
