Here’s the problem with ctrl-key combinations: you have to use the keyboard. Any time I have to take my hand off the mouse and transfer it to the keyboard (except when I have to actually type a text string) and then transfer it back to the mouse, I’ve been defeated. I’ve been WAY slowed down on the work I do. I want to just click, click, click and NEVER EVER touch the keyboard for anything other than typing.
I’m a true power user and if you talk to any other true power user, they’ll probably tell you the same thing.
You say you write code, and having to touch the keyboard slows you down. Really? Hmmm, I write code too, and my hands are typically on the keyboard so the CTRL-Key functions work very well for me. Every "power user" I've ever met in my career has been keyboard centric and typically abhor's using a mouse to switch windows, much less requiring it's use to 'write code.'
BTW: What kind of coder simply clicks the mouse to write code without hardly ever having to touch the keyboard? I may need to switch.
Right. I think that's the fourth time you've made that statement on this thread. Not sure what your definition of a "true power user" is, but most "true power users" I know don't have to brag, they have confidence in their skills and are highly adaptable to learning and exploiting new environments in their craft.
If you're anything in I.T. you know it's a "change or die" environment. Some change, some die. Some assert four times on a thread that they're "true power users" as if that makes them better than everyone else while they whine about not being able to adapt to a new environment.
Change or die. Either way, move on.
