The Lounge What is on Your Mind? Keyboard vs mouse
# 22  
Old 08-07-2009
I think I am really an IBM kind of girl - so I use my keyboard + the trackpoint of my IBM keyboards everywhere - for the HMCs, as keyboard for my PCs in the office and at home and on all notebooks I use - for everything, including gaming. My current notebook has a touchpad in addition which I hate and I do not even own a mouse so its all about the keyboard ... I think I touched the last mouse 1997 ...

Kind regards

I've had a Mac for a couple of months now, and I must say that, for me, using the keyboard on Windows is much easier than on the Mac. There are just too many fangled key combinations on the Mac.

Half the time I'm too scared to try any of these combinations for fear of what might happen, where I'll end up, and how I get back from it.

But Apple being Apple did give us something wonderful - the Magic Mouse (TM) - to compensate. Which, as mice go, is a joy to use. A great device. I hear if you do a three-fingered karate-back-hand-chop-swipe, you can get Radio 2. Still working on that one!

I think this depends on what application you are using.
when I started using a new application on windows, we (at least I) as the first thing,definitely go to help and search for the keyboard shortcuts.
gmail, outlook are two of them.

if there is something mouse equivalent with keyboard for any application, we would surely prefer to use that. so for me, its keyboard.

on the other hand, for terminal, no doubt, vote for keyboard. Smilie

Also no doubt, we used mouse for voting :P
