This might sound dumb to some people, but I guess since I was around in the old DOS days when everything was done via keystrokes, the thing that annoys me most about how Windows influenced and changed me, is the way it made me mouse dependent.
Again, this will sound dumb to some, but I like the single button mouse because it means using keystrokes more often. But I always wimp out and plug a two button mouse into my laptop.
Windoze has made me lazy.
I see definite advantages in using more keystrokes.
- it's good for your posture. When you do everything by mouse, you get more and more comfortable in your chair. Keystrokes force you to sit up - even if it's just to do command-clicks.
- keystrokes can be more productive. eg command-H is quicker than click app menu, click Hide-app
- the more moving your hands do, the more you reduce the risk of rsi. so moving from mouse to keyboard more often, is a good thing.
The other problem I've found coming to Mac, is I'm missing out on some excellent shortcuts by not using keystrokes.
I hope overtime I will be exorcised of this bad behavior, and will become a good keyboard user.
What do others think? Am I wrong? deluded? misguided? Or do you agree?
