I often use only the curser to code. I prefer to drag and drop letters from a virtual keyboard into my IDE.
I used to work with a guy who would, genuinely, use the mouse to copy and paste individual characters.
I worked with a diplomated software engineer and that idiot couldn't even set up his own computer.
This whole branche is cursed...

Yeah... Thanks
English isn't my first language and it's Friday, I'm everything but sober
I do most of my cursing during preliminary test...

had comprehensive manuals
You must not have coded for DOS.
At home, Atari ST and at work IBM System/38 where the manuals had their own office.
In the late 80s there were no man pages, we had a 50 page paper manual - and it was mostly useless.
How could he not use the GLORIOUS AI!
