I found myself using the trackpad more often than not. As soon as I got a MacBook, I searched through the alleys of the internet for respite. This premature breakup with i3wm hit me hard. I was ready to work at Postman but I was not ready to leave the ultimate power that comes with i3wm. Having worked on solely Linux for the past 6 years and being a convicted felon for the crime to replacing Windows with Linux on any computer I could get my hands on (I actually installed Linux on a work computer assigned to me at a six months internship), I had little choice. When I started work at Postman, I was given a choice between a MacBook and a Windows laptop. The kind of control and power that i3wm provides is, in my opinion, criminal. This aversion to mouse and trackpad (and even arrow keys) led me to a gift from heaven that we mortals call i3wm.
I learnt touch-typing around that time too and that made me not want get my fingers off the home row.
To avoid using it as much as I can I learnt the keyboard shortcuts of any application that I used more often than once. When I was in college I owned a Dell laptop which had a really sucky trackpad.
