I use jkl because it puts 'u', 'l', and 'm' at my fingertips without moving my left hand away from 'a', 'w', tab, and the like.

I could rearrange the commands, but rearranging the use keys without making them useless for people who don't use whatever nonstandard control scheme I wound up with would be impossible.

My device mod can be very use interface intensive, with weapons, launchers, shields, and even armor that can require frequent invoking in combat.

Even vanilla can be pretty use interface intensive if you use the QCPU and jumpdrive.

I use mouse for dockscreens because my hands are large enough they have no trouble reaching any key on the keyboard. I use my left hand for all keys except the arrow keys and my right hand for arrow keys and mouse.

Breaking a habit makes life hare :D
I've done mouse for dockscreens since I started playing back in .96. I've used it ever since, because I use a laptop and it's just as fast to use a key as it is a mouse, but the keys aren't always the same as not all dockscreens have the same options. What's easier to do: say the title of a book you want or just point and say "that one".
