A modest defense of the rodent
So, Emacs and the mouse. This is an unexpectedly contentious topic, with discussions that end, at best, with careless dismissal. More often they turn into arguments with folks talking past one another.
The advantages of using the mouse for common actions in Emacs are immediate and obvious. Window selection is a natural extension of basic mouse usage. Resizing windows is a snap. Context (right-click) menus See context-menu-mode.
Look at mr. Galileo here saying the sun does not rotate around the earth!
lol jokes aside I had no idea this stuff even existed. I use the mouse sporadically to change window or tab, or ina messy files go to a specific point in the buffer, but this strokes stuff is something else. I have worked in computer vision, idk what they are using in the back but I guess it must be fairly rudimentary, I wonder if training a mainstream deeplearning CV model could provide better results after the user calibrates it… If anyone would be interested in working on it hit me up.
