I recently switched my daily workflow(coding, writing etc) to a "keyboard driven methodology" as much as possible ! So far (about 3 months) it's been going great.
I'm running an ASUS ZenBook with Ubuntu 20.04 and:
-i3 (Seems everyone starts here for tiling managers)
-lightdm( weird issues with the default GDM3 and dual screens)
-Switched from "Dual Monitors" (laptop + 27") to one monitor, the 27", my laptop lid/display is closed. This was interesting to me, since now that I make better use of workspace and their shortcuts, I don't need more physical-real-estate. Especially with my neck issue. Can't turn my head too much right (car accident), I call it my Zoolander-Thang.
-Employed "workspaces" (virtual desktops ?) as follows:
--ws1 (Terminals)
--ws2 (Browser)
--ws3 (Comms) Skype,Gmail,WhatsApp
--ws4 (Code) VSCode
--ws6 (Files) Still in GUI land here... should look spend more time with something like nnn or ranger.
--ws7 (Gimp)
--ws8 (Geany) Scratchpad and misc. editor stuff
-Learnt most of the 'useful' keyboard shortcuts for the commonly used programs. VSCode, i3, Gimp
Less mouse, more KB :)
