I'm a senior engineer now and I'm a big mouse user. It's more intuitive for me. My productivity is certainly not bottlenecking on how fast my hands move on the keyboard. .

My productivity is bottlenecked by the number of meetings I have to attend, random slack messages that need to be responded to, and distractions IRL.

I'm not going to shame anyone about using a mouse unless you also always right click to copy/paste.

Only because I have figured out how to copy from vim to other apps without the mouse yet.

If you ever find out a way, please DM me

I'll probably get back to you in a few years, still mastering the motions and actions.

Hey, if you're still wondering, I found this on SE: https://vi.stackexchange.com/questions/84/how-can-i-copy-text-to-the-system-clipboard-from-vim

Thank you for this, now I know I have 26+ registers to store stuff in as well as the system clipboard! Honestly been so busy I haven't touched my computer in over a week.
