You should use whatever works for you but this strikes me as very bizarre I have to admit. I started out with a mouse as well and I can see this being something I would have attempted if I hadn't just put my head down and forced myself to get used to keeping my hands on the keyboard.
As I said, it would be nice to be able to do everything with Powershell (or even Cygwin), but the every module isn't available for every version of Powershell, and the last 2 versions of Powershell don't work with some older (but still supported) versions of Windows. Want to control you audio from Powershell? There's a cmdlet[1] for that. But it only works on Powershell 4.0 and higher. And PS 4.0 is only available on…

You're not able to upgrade your gaming PC?
Everything works fine so it's not a very high priority - I'd rather be Minecrafting - either playing the game or adding to the server.

I'm only slightly ashamed to admit I like using a mouse. I get that some people can work faster with all-keyboard controls. I use both. I also like GUIs for certain things. The only thing I don't like GUIs for is when there is some repetitive thing that I have to do 50 times a day and would require 3 or 4 clicks or menu selections - for those I'd always rather have a single command. Sometimes I make those into shell…
Might already be familiar with it, but if you aren't, you should check out sikuli script [1] for when you have a repetitive GUI task you have to perform that can't be directly scripted. I've used it to script some really complex workflows through GUI's It's also just weird and interesting to program something to move through a GUI as fast as is possible 1: http://www.sikuli.org/

#168Going though this thread, so far we have fpp, selecta, peco, percol, numberwang, fzf... Wewh! They are all, how could we call it, command line selector tools? What I'd love to read is a nice comparative review of these tools. Although I kind of enjoy the process of going though each one and studying how the features fit my own workflow.
