Beautifully put. I didn't give it serious thought until perhaps 5 years ago, at which point I started gearing my tools to keyboard only input. I had always found the mouse clumsy, inconcise and a distraction if it was needed.

Without getting caught up on specific tools, using editors and a window manager that are all keyboard focused, and learning all the keyboard shortcuts I can for my tools,I feel I can stay in flow much better and work more concisely.

Using some of these tools makes me feel like I am using telepathy almost, as stuff happens on the screen where and when I want precisely.
