No. But ... it can come in handy.
Suggest that you learn your hotkey shortcuts for your IDE as this will speed you up.
Also being able to navigate around a text editor just using your keyboard can speed things up alot (i.e. using Home key, end key, selecting text using Crtl + Shift + <- etc). Anything that keeps you shifting from mouse to keyboard and back.
Absolutely not! Thinking seems to be the key skill 😉
You might also want to tag this post with #programming and #beginners for wider reach 😄
Ok thanks
