Reply to comment by _b1ack0ut in Hackers in heist movies never use a computer mouse by RamenRat

I use them all the time, still, I can just select 500 lines of code by mouse in 2 seconds. Nice try tho.

Ok, so you already know how to do it and choose not to. That’s your choice, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible to perform on keyboard just because you personally prefer it another way.

That’s why multiple forms of input is great anyways, what works for one person might not be great for another, like i personally find I can just enter the keystroke combination or two in the time it would have taken me just to reach for my mouse, not even inputting anything.

Yeah, but I said nothing about “impossible” though.

Fair. But again, impossible doesn’t need to be part of the equation. Just efficiency I guess, in the way you find it easier to use a mouse, I find It easier to just press keys that my hands are already on, than move to a new Input, unless I’m already using the mouse, such as while multitasking while also playing games.

I suppose it comes down to if you only know keyboard commands, mouse commands will be easy enough to intuit if you have to use a gui, but if you only know mouse inputs for everything, you’re fucked when the gui is gone.
