I set up FVWM to use lots of keyboard commands, and I prefer to use
text-based apps in an xterm-equivalent (versus mouse-based apps), so I don't
have to use the mouse that much. Also, I keep apps that I'm often flipping
between in the same relative place on two virtual desktops, so I can just
move between them (alt up/down) and not have to move the mouse. Then again,
I'm not running KDE or Gnome.
