Do you kind of detest the mouse? (sh.itjust.works)

I wonder if this is more common among Linux users. If an application has good keyboard support, I'm ALL over that instead of using a mouse. That's one reason web applications really annoy me, they usually have terrible keyboard support, or the browser shortcuts interfere.

Maybe detest is too strong a word. More like I prefer to avoid it if at all possible (unless it's something like CAD or most gaming where the mouse is basically essential)

I use both comfortably depending on the task.

git checkout dev & git pull is very easy to type.

git checkout dev-CHG03451-make_sky_turquoise is going to be way easier to mouse in my ide, but then I'll switch right back to git merge dev :wq

Linux is also my main driver, so all my (desktop) web browsing and interaction are done with a mouse. It doesn't make sense to be all that worried about keyboard-maxing.
