I think I already noted that predictable[1] keyboard interfaces
can make navigation pretty quick. Point and click mouse work needs
a feedback loop to move the mouse to a place where you want.

I just realized that when I buy stuff on the internet, sometimes
credit card forms automatically jump to the next field when the
one edited gets completed. They know it's completed bc the predictable
number of digits you have to enter.

Sometimes this jumping behavior is not there.

So muscle memory gets in the way. Not pressing tab on a form where I
should be, and vice versa, jumping two fields with a single tab when
the form is automatic.

predictable
