You cannot get the level of control out of keyboard shortcuts that you can with fine grained mouse movements. It'd be like trying to play a videogame while controlling camera movement with a controller DPAD/arrow keys.

I didn’t talk about using keyboard alone…
You didn't, but if we're introducing the mouse, we haven't dismissed the issues stemming from the lack of pointer warping.
Why would introducing a mouse interface necessitate pointer warping? There are several millions/billions of apps which utilize mouse and doesn’t need pointer warping.

So the second time, why is it needed in this case, and why it cannot be solved other ways?
