I never understood this fascination with drag and drop text inside the
same application. I mean, when you start typing your next message, stop mid
sentence and look where your hands are. Now, look where your mouse is. Now
as yourself this simple question: Which is closer, the CNTL, SHIFT and
movement keys or the mouse?
Another little thought experiment for you. Which of the two is analog and
which is digital? I know both are digital at the very low level, but in the
abstract is what I am asking.
For me the answers are the keys and the keyboard. Why do I want to move
my hand all the way over to the mouse to use an analog pointing device to
mark/move text when the matter of a few pixels this way or that results in
unintended marking and placement? The mouse is less precise, more time
consuming and less convenient for working within text which is what the
keyboard, for about a century now, has been designed to do!
