I mean, in extreme lag scenarios it’s more useful, as hitting three keys and waiting is easier than trying to guess where the mouse cursor is as you try to hit the icon.

In cases where you’re already typing (personally, most of the time) it’s more convenient. As many of us are programmers here, it’s quite annoying to switch between keyboard and mouse all the time, and keyboard shortcuts allow us to be much Fmitt efficient in our work. (I mean, I use Neovim now and I’ve never worked this fast and smoothly).

Of course, I know nothing of how you use your device, but generally keyboard shortcuts are preferred to clunky mouse interactions.
