I end up with this the concept, keyboard based cursor movement is faster compared to mouse pointer, is just a meme. I've been practicing Vim or Emacs or other tools for a decade, and I'm quite good at both keybindings. But I'm sure avy jump, ace jump, /, or similar shitty type of shits aren't dramatically faster than the touchpad based cursor movement. If you set the mouse cursor speed to the maximum and practice moving it by rubbing your thumb on the touchpad bloody everyday, you can place the cursor with much greater accuracy and intuition than by tapping the keyboard repeatedly.

That sounds incredibly stupid and annoying.

but it isn't bloody hell you know
those type of keyboard jumping methods would require additional steps or cognitive load if multiple words have the same prefix

That's why you think keyboard movement is worse than mouse pointing.
