// The reason being it takes a lot longer to type than click once.

i'm not disagreeing, but i'm no longer willing to take that claim
at face value, at least not as a blanket statement. your brain
pays more attention to "interesting" tasks than "booring" ones.
an interesting study was done WRT mouse-based vs. keyboard-based
cursor positioning for text editing. the article has been linked
on this list list a few times, but there's too much going on at
work right now for me to find it. it was pretty informative.
