To Mouse or Not to Mouse

[gmaharriet]

I use the keyboard for commands on the left-hand side and mostly the mouse for right-hand commands. I make too many mistakes in hand placement if I move back and forth from the mouse to keyboard, so I road with keyboard and irrigate with the mouse.

For almost all PC applications, you see that the more experienced people get with them, the more they will use the keyboard.
Keyboard works faster and with fewer errors.

That's not always true. I'm an experienced computer user. I almost always keep my left hand on the keyboard for all Ctrl, Shift, Alt commands and my right hand on the mouse for drag-drop and context menu commands (except for typing, of course). There's another guy at work who uses the keyboard for absolutely everything (even browzing directories on his computer). I mean, he even uses the Alt+Space menu and arrow keys to resize windows. I'm generally much more efficent in my work than he is.

ya indeed not always, resizing windows with keyboard is rediculous. But simply things like for example copy pasting, ctrl-c and ctrl-v are so much better than right button-paste. etc.
Of course, the mouse does have its uses, else why would we have it
