> keyboard only editors look even more appealing

You don't say what editor or IDE you're currently using [ed: unless you mean ST? Which would be odd, because it doesn't need a mouse for anything], but few require mouse usage for much nowadays. You might be better off, at least in the first instance, just learning the keyboard shortcuts for the tool you're currently using.

ST is not a modal text editor. I know there is a vim emulation plugin for ST that's reasonably good, but at face value someone who has mastered vim can edit text faster than vanilla ST because of vim's modal and compositional nature.
