Moving your hands from the keyboard to the mouse (and back) takes longer than getting to where you want using Vim navigation on the keyboard. You can also use intelligent movements (e.g. f" = to the next " on this line, or /foo = to the next line with foo or 362G = to line 362) instead of pounding the keyboard like crazy.


Yes, I'm sorry if it wasn't clear that was what I was saying. Thanks for the examples. I also use t a lot, but more with c, e.g. ct. or ct).
