Yes, yet in a thread specifically about what keyboards can do which mouses can't, "you can use the keyboard for that" is the point.
There's a menu item for Undo in most GUI applictions. But who has time? If you can undo from TUI vim without a keystroke, I don't happen to know how.

The point was the original question "you mean it can do more than is actually possible to do with a mouse?" was wrong because it isn't a question of mouse vs keyboard since mice are not meant to be used by themselves but instead they augment what you can already do with the keyboard.
Your keyboard does though, as probably does the GUI of your editor in a toolbar or menu item. It isn't like you have to use only the mouse. The mouse was meant to be used together with the keyboard, not as a replacement.
