Yes, maybe you're right. Looking at how I use IDEs (Eclipse, VS Code, Atom), I found myself making excessive use of both keyboard and mouse for editing and navigating. Maybe I just should give it a try to only use keyboard for this and see how it works.

Then again, actually, I always sort of found the absence of mouse as working input device especially in ssh terminals more of an issue to be resolved rather than a feature and so I made use of vim to be as fast as possible under these circumstances. Would be interesting to see if leaving out a mouse on an X11 user interface will leave you same as fast. ;)
