I'd like actual examples instead of "I work faster", something like "I can move straight to the middle of the file with 7mv" or "I can keep 4 different text snippets in memory and paste each with a number+pt, like 2pt", things that you actually use somewhat frequently instead of what you can do, but probably only did once.

Yeah when my hand goes to the mouse it feels like I've broken a combo or streak. Like I've switched from an active to a passive mode. The mouse is for clicking and scrolling, like reading email and webpages

The Acme editor (and Sam) begs to differ. Sadly it's hard to find a mouse that can do mouse chording today.
