Do you kind of detest the mouse? (sh.itjust.works)

I wonder if this is more common among Linux users. If an application has good keyboard support, I'm ALL over that instead of using a mouse. That's one reason web applications really annoy me, they usually have terrible keyboard support, or the browser shortcuts interfere.

Maybe detest is too strong a word. More like I prefer to avoid it if at all possible (unless it's something like CAD or most gaming where the mouse is basically essential)

Huh. I was expecting the comments here to be an echo chamber

I don't like the mouse, personally. I never have the patience to point it precisely, often leading to miss-clicks. But all the keyboard ways of navigating search engines were not able to replace it, and I love that scroll-click is basically a second copy buffer

For decades the middle button has been 'paste what you picked up'.

I don't remember it working in Win95. And that was not my first OS
