I'm going to second >>2 on this, I have a massive sxhkd file with a million keybinds which makes my computer completely unusable to anyone who isn't me. Every time I end up using a mouse-forward interface it feels clunky to me. For example I don't think about programs as their icon or logo, I think about what they're called, so even though it might seem more efficient to just double click on an icon, it's much more intuitive for me to type the name into dmenu or rofi. I even use this launcher on my phone https://github.com/fandreuz/TUI-ConsoleLauncher for the same reason. It's all text under the hood anyway. That being said I think some plan9 evangalists have good things to say about rio but I haven't looked into it.
