Honestly terminal commands are like a picky voice assistant that you talk to via keyboard... you tell the computer to do something and it just does it, or it fusses at you that you screwed up something.
Clicking stuff ends up being the slower way once you know what you are doing...
Real command-line users only need two keys, enter and up
At some point, I realize that I'm furiously clicking the up arrow twenty times just to reenter a command that was two words long anyway and far quicker to type out. Not even CTRL+R would make it more efferent than typing.
Even with mid-command matching, like "ctrl+r Doc" for "cd Documents"? Just in case not everyone has found that you don't have to match from the beginning of the string you're looking for.
