Do programmers work more efficiently with faster hands?
I think it’s a good idea to lock your phone at work.
But without further ado, today I tried out a tool called WhatPulse that counts keyboard and mouse input and shared it with you.
Official website: https://whatpulse.org/
I installed version 3.3, the main screen is as follows:
The software counts keyboard and mouse input details and displays them with various types of ICONS and heat maps.
Different colors represent different keystrokes:
For example, as a programmer, I actually hit the space bar the most, because Google input method after entering Chinese, you need to use the space bar confirmation.
The second most frequent type is the left Ctrl key, which makes sense because you need to use Ctrl + Space to switch input methods, and Ctrl C + Ctrl V, which programmers will understand.
Heat map of the screen where the mouse clicks: The taskbar area at the bottom of the screen gets the most clicks because I’m used to clicking on the taskbar to switch between Windows:
The number of keyboard and mouse clicks in the last 12 hours: This gives me an idea of how much time I spend at work:
CTRL + V and CTRL + C lead the way in terms of the number of combined keystrokes. It seems like I’m a real programmer, programming for CTRL + C and CTRL + V:
If you sign up for an account, you can also upload your data to the official website:
There are global rankings of keystrokes and mouse clicks, and I’m also drunk:
This morning 10:00 ~ 12:00 two hours, a total of 2925 times on the keyboard, click the mouse 1255 times. The top five most frequently keystroked keys are: Space, Left Control, I, Delete, and Enter.
Hardly any right mouse click. The majority of mouse clicks take place at the bottom of the screen to switch the task bar, which can be replaced with shortcuts to improve productivity.
