> 1. Move your eyes off of the text you're editing so you can find the mouse cursor.
Try this: keep your eyes fixed on a character, then wiggle the mouse or trackpad. I don't think I ever actively look for the pointer before using the mouse, and I doubt anyone else does either.
I'm guessing that if you can track the mouse pointer without taking your eyes off the text you're editing, most of your listed steps become non-factors.
