It's about familiarity.

Learn those cursor movement keys combos and you'll find it ends up being way faster to get to the middle of your line to drop your ctrl-v that way once you're used to it.

Not that I mean to rag on you in a superior way like so many keyboard-only primadonnas like to. You do you, and I understand that for a lot of people the investment in learning this non-critical stuff just isn't worth the time.
