Keyboard is always my first choice

I have been always a big fan of keyboards, and keybindings. The keyboard will always be faster, no matter how good you are with your mouse. My friend’s example of using the mouse to create a dozen of directories always comes to mind. He right-clicked, created a directory, named it, and repeated the action a dozen times. He could have just done this: % mkdir dir-{1..12} The same goes for all the apps you use. Most of them have shortcuts. If you need to select a menu and then a tool with the mouse, forget it. Use the keybinding 3 or 4 times to speed up this process. Yes, it will slow you down at first. The same thing happened to me when I learnt Dvorak. Repetition is the key. The more you practise, the better you’ll get. I work from home and sometimes I see Mrs Hyde sitting next to me using the mouse. I showed her some shortcuts and now she uses them. If you have to go to the office and see your colleagues using their mouse, try teaching them about it. In the long run, they will thank…
