Developing and editing code on Mac. Do you only use the keyboard or touchpad+keyboard?

Question

JavaScript

Good afternoon!

I have a small question for the code developers on Macbooks. How do you edit code? Do you only use the keyboard and hotkeys or keyboard + multi-touchpad?
Is it really faster not to use the multitouchpad at all?

Thank you in advance!

Well, it all depends on many factors. I wrote in Java on a MacBook Air 2017 at IDEA, I was comfortable. Actions with code are mostly 50 to 50 mouse / keyboard (yes, in 20 years with a PC, I never learned purely keyboard programming, even despite knowing vim).
The touchpad on it is really gorgeous, it completely replaces the mouse, and you can safely poke into the text and drag pieces of code.
It also depends on your keyboard skills and the IDE you work in.
