I do use some keyboard shortcuts. It utilizes my left hand, which pulls some of the stress away from my right (mouse) hand. I've corporal tunnel syndrome in both hands. CTRL+C is one and CTRL+V is another I use frequently. I can't think of others off the top of my head but they're there.

Mice are critical for computer use though. I wouldn't be able to draw with out a mouse.

Sure, I do.
I use shortcuts as and when they are useful. Some shortcuts actually waste more time, you know?

I do alot of cutting and pasting at my job, and I find it is much faster to use the keyboard shortcuts for this. I think once you get used to using them, you will find that it is much faster and easier.

I mostly use keyboard shortcuts. I don't like having to switch between the mouse and the keyboard when it is quicker just to use the keyboard.

Hi nilouette, mouse is really is a very handy device but I don't take my keyboard for granted. It is a plus to know shortcut keys, like when i'm in a hurry typing a long one, i very seldom use my mouse. I also started using the computer when mouse was still in conception. So i could use my computer from startup to shutdown with or without my mouse though a bit awkward.

I am not using keyboard shortcuts regularly and mostly depend on mouse. I feel more comfortable in using mouse. But sometimes i use keyboard shortcuts for some applications like internet browsers.

I really do use a lot of the short cuts on the keyboard...I mean its just so much more easier for me to do and it makes things a lot faster to me and that is what i really need because I have a lot of things I have to do while I am on the computer so if there is any kind of way that I can save some time in anyway that is exactly what I am going to do because it just saves me time and it isn't any different...I think that everyone does that from time to time...
