> Yeah, this is the reason I use a track point instead of a mouse.

VIM + touchpad beneath space bar on a standard laptop works well too. I can left\right click with my left thumb and move the cursor with my right thumb without my primary digits leaving the home keys.



Sure. The thing is that

(a) a good track point is ways more precise than a touch pad

(b) to cross the screen from one corner to another on a touch pad you have to make several strokes, whereas with a track point you don't have to leave the device a single time
