Mice? You mean the little critters that spread plague and leave their droppings everywhere? I don’t want that anywhere near my computer. While modern applications and operating systems make mice a necessity, it really is not the best way to use your computer. Long term mice usage, especially for people who have arthritis, can lead to wrist strain and injuries.But, contrary to popular belief, you don’t actually need a mouse. If you’re using the right software you can completely avoid one alltogether. I am going to explain what software I use, and how i get around all of the tricky situations where a mouse would be required, so that you can give it a try.

      I feel like it is faster.

      However, my aim was to have a system that could be used without a mouse. Why? because I had neither a mouse nor a touchpad.

      I personally like to use regular command line tools (cd, mkdir, mv, ls, etc.) but there are many cases where a terminal file manager comes in handy. When working with a large number of files, having a simple list is a lot easier than reading all of the filenames and opening them. Plus, if you’re like me and choose to use a POSIX shell, managing files with terminal commands is hell when you have long filenames.
