During a zoom, I was presenting my full screen and was opening a new tab instantly with the scroll wheel click and the zoomers on the call was mind blown.

I've had similar experiences teaching zoomers basic shortcuts: ctrl-c, ctrl-v, alt-tab, ctrl-shift-esc. Makes me feel like a wizard. They might think I am a wizard.

I just can't understand the lack of curiosity... You have a mouse with several buttons and you're not even going to test them out on things?

How often do they use mice and keyboards? I get what people who don't use shortcuts look like to you all, but I know how many times I've had to help someone older who works with computers, including just straight up DOS-looking internal text prompt systems fine, remember how to highlight text on a phone to copy, or even be able to look up their apps without clicking on the homescreen ones.

Some people just really only get good with one tool at a time and don't have the energy for more, and for the younger average person that tool's gonna be the one they grew up with, the phone.
