I'm somewhere between 45-75 wpm. But Ctrl+C Ctrl+V can type 300wpm!

Typing when you could paste is like having that Github Copilot put the right sentence right in front of you and you decide to type over it instead. Not only does it feel like wasted and robotic effort, typing everything leads to RSI.

I'm not sure why people disagree. Another symptom is that I insist on aliases for everything while others type out all the commands every time. Maybe I get distracted by the words when I type and lose my train of thought?

You need to highly the correct test first and move the curser to the correct location to paste text. I bet you can type 123123 several times faster than you can highlight that text in this comment and past it into a reply.

Double click to select a word is fast, and then you are in per word selection mode.

Sure, move mouse to text, double click, ctrl-c, ctrl-v it’s still slower than touch typing one word.
