Emacs/Vimfags, explain to me how being able to instantly select any part of the screen using your mouse makes you *less* productive than scrolling around with your keyboard.

Hint: you can't.

>>54903425
how is that pic real? where is it from?

Because you have to move your hand from the homerow to mouse and then back to keyboard

>>54903425
If you really need to, just bind a hotkey for
:set mouse=a

and
:set mouse=

so you can switch between mouse and non-mouse.
You'll end up just not ever using it anyway.

On headless systems, like servers and shit, mice don't work

Context switching.

It may only take a tenth of a second or so but if you are working for a long tine it adds up.

vw, vb, v$ all quite faster than mouse.

I admit that selecting arbitrary large portions of text is faster with mouse but of course you can get the mouse to work with your terminal emulator so lol who cares
