It takes a lot of energy to move from the keyboard to the mouse and back constantly, gross.
I wish the ThinkPad nub was more popular.
If you want to get better with the nub use it to play StarCraft brood war.
Actually crazy idea: spacebar trackpad.
Moving vertically would be a pain
There's no reason the space bar needs can't be taller
Please no I cannot even imagine the horrors that would arise from this
Remember the BlackBerry Key2? Entire keyboard was a trackpad. Genius.
Please no.
But it takes nearly no energy to stay on the mouse.
Yes, that's why I've adapted my workflow to be as mouse-centric as possible.
Almost feels like I'm using my PC as a smartphone with a keyboard.
I'm sure that works great for doing nothing productive
Never seen a movie huh?
You think those are made in the Terminal?
Gotta save energy to hit the gym later
That's what trackpoint is for

And even less if you can script it.
That’s another nice thing about the CLI: Once you figure out how to do something making a script is usually as easy as getting the commands out of your history.
I’ve yet to see any GUI automation tool that’s as easy to use.
I like trackpads because I don't have to move my whole arm to use them.
Bruh, high sensitivity mouse.
I can twitch and my cousin flies off the screen
I meant to get to it, but sure, let your cousin fly.
