Keyboard shortcuts give me precision and efficiency, not speed, and that cognitive overload you talk about is a small price to pay.
For you. But you don't get to make that decision for everyone else. Stop trying to impose your value system on others. It's clear you don't like using a mouse. Then don't. Keep using a 1970s keyboard if it suits you. Bon a petite.

Yes, openly criticizing someone's opinion (or in this case, simply stating another opinion) on a public forum is exactly the same as trying to impose my value system on that person.
By the way, you totally missed the "me" in

which quite clearly means that this is a subjective matter.
Thanks for helping policing the internet: we clearly don't need to debate about anything.
No. All this can be made with an extra cognitive overload provided by the use of keyboard shortcuts that makes you think you're doing something useful and/or faster than with the mouse.
Especially if you don't need to have your hand at the keyboard at all times (i.e you're just browsing code and not writing), scrolling with the mouse is way faster.
