Yes but no one is actually computing efficient key combos. Most people just use the movement they are used to (w, e, f, t) and the most common text objects (s, p, ‘, “, ), ], }) when doing operation. That plus repeat will do 95% of what you want. Add markings used with ed ranges and the occasional macro replayed line by line on a visual selection and you can do everything without ever having to think.
