Fair. But again, impossible doesn’t need to be part of the equation. Just efficiency I guess, in the way you find it easier to use a mouse, I find It easier to just press keys that my hands are already on, than move to a new Input, unless I’m already using the mouse, such as while multitasking while also playing games.

I suppose it comes down to if you only know keyboard commands, mouse commands will be easy enough to intuit if you have to use a gui, but if you only know mouse inputs for everything, you’re fucked when the gui is gone.

Ok, so you already know how to do it and choose not to. That’s your choice, but that doesn’t mean it is impossible to perform on keyboard just because you personally prefer it another way.

That’s why multiple forms of input is great anyways, what works for one person might not be great for another, like i personally find I can just enter the keystroke combination or two in the time it would have taken me just to reach for my mouse, not even inputting anything.

Here’s a starting tip for scrolling. If you’re using only the arrow keys, you’re probably goofing it. Keep in mind that T scrolls to the top of a document , B will bring you to the bottom, and space bar should move you about one page worth down, using control in conjunction with the arrow keys will jump between the beginning or end of paragraphs, or between them, home and insert will move the cursor around around it’s current line, and when combined with ctl, will do the same with a text box.

If you wanna select a paragraph quickly, just use shift+ctl+ up or down, to just jump up and down selecting (or deselecting) paragraphs at a time.
