The sound I make when being punched - or when looking for the right shortcut.
Some company that calls itself something like 'Winzigweich' managed to invent something they call a Ribbon, which are used to hide menu options from the users and confuse them just like those who use shortcuts.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.

I tend to use the mouse as a fidget spinner when thinking, just moving it around aimlessly. I think it impresses the managers when they walk by.

You should be swinging it. It also helps keep away unwanted desk invaders.

One is typing characters when coding. As noted below adequate, tried and true shortcuts exist so one need not take their hands off the keyboard.
Per the subject line, I could not understand why one would want to remove their hands from the keyboard, find the mouse, find the right selections, do their stuff (possibly requiring its own keyboard input) and then have to get their hands back to the keyboard.
Perhaps a mouse helps for those whose idea of tying is giving the keyboard the (index) finger?

I use the mouse left handed because way back in the day, I would write down notes with my right hand and need to move around with the mouse. Makes my coworkers nuts when they try to drive at my desk because the mouse is on the wrong side and the buttons are swapped.

Shortcuts makes life easy, rather clicking with mouse pointer. However, it's a combination for me. Only with one I cannot do that at all.

You are so much faster, when you know the shortcuts of your favorite IDE.
Some things are more comfortable when you drag&drop them, like double-clicking a member variable during debug and dragging it to the "Watch" window, but most things, especially text editing, formating, refactoring, inserting (Ctrl+. in VS, Alt-Ins in Android Studio) etc are simply faster by keyboard.
Whenever possible, I use a keyboard shortcut, some times I even search for the shortcut to learn a new one if I think, there should be a smarter way to achieve something.

Agreed. I use whatever's faster for the operation at hand.
I've found the mouse to be really helpful when I'm cherry-picking a merge between two versions of source.
