Well sometimes you see a post that makes you think...
Heres the background. I used to do a lot of database work with text,
just text. So having to let go and use mouse when a tab key would do it
is annoying. IE mouse became a nuisance as more and more database
programs etc needed mouse, there were no keystrokes available.
Now it the other way around, as more and more GUI stuff has become
available we have gone back to typing commands in the "Terminal Window"
like services.msc
So the mouse kbd / mouse kbd phenomenon gets worse instead of better...

You could do all of that using only the mouse without ever touching the
keyboard except to type the folder name(s) when changing or creating.
Some people just like to type stuff.

Linux has the same issue... if one must go beyond the GUI to configure
stuff... good luck... This stuff is -simple- compared to Linux command line
stuff. Way simpler...
