I was contemplating the same thing today as I was knee deep in refactoring a piece of code - I use IntelliJ and ideavim, which I find great because it also implements (emulates?) a small subset of vim plugins. I was able to finish the fairly complex refactoring in half an hour, without taking my hands off the keyboard by using a fairly strong combination of vim and IDE features. This is what works for me.
I use an IntelliJ plugin that notifies me when I could’ve used a shortcut but I clicked with the mouse instead. It also counts the times I missed a shortcut. I keep a pretty low count but I was watching a colleague that had the same plugin and he had missed a certain shortcut 22k times. He is as productive as I am, so to each his own

What is with this obsession of never taking the hands of the keyboard? I've seen it so many times and it makes no sense to me. I don't find myself limited by the speed of typing but by the speed of thinking.
