Re: use the mouse to move the pointer
FWIW I find having a rich set of keyboard commands and SEVERAL pointing devices to be more efficient than either device alone.
There FTFW
At one point I had 2 mice (left/right side), a keyboard-mounted trackpad, trackball and Wacom digitiser attached to my system.
It used to annoy the cat who liked to sit on whatever device I was using in order to get attention.
