Same. Have to disagree though. I've been reintroducing a keyboard here and there, and whenever I have to do something in the VSCode editor, I get frustrated with the speed and end up going back to Cursorless.
I think it's a lot faster than keyboard / mouse, mostly because of how little moving of the cursor you have to do.
Could be I was slow to begin with, not super efficient with vim or emacs.
Also, "editing" is the fastest part for me, due to "bring" and "change". So little movement.
If you adjust the velocity to v-1 it would be an incremental update, which seems natural. But if you update the velocity to d-1 (as stated) I can imagine this could be a jump and even could result in negative velocity for d=0.
