Keyboard commands are faster than mousing because they allow users to quickly input sequences of commands or text without having to take their hands off the keyboard.Many video editors take a two-hand approach, with one hand on the mouse and one hand on the keyboard, using muscle memory to remember key commands in conjunction with mousing.Also, video editors are known to use a mouse that has extra buttons, which can be mapped to keyboard commands.I use the Logitech MX Master, which has extra buttons for mappable functions, in addition to a cool app called SteerMouse, which gives you complete control over the mouse and its mapped functions within any or specific applications.There are also peripherals geared towards video editing . . . like the Tour Box, which I reviewed here on YouTube for the FxFactory YouTube Channel.
