RightWheel

AI didn't just change what I do on my computer; it changed how I physically interact with it.

A year ago, I typed for a living. Now I mostly read, review, and orchestrate. I'd estimate 70–80% of my day is spent reading AI outputs, switching contexts, managing windows, and monitoring — not generating text. My hands are on the mouse almost the entire time.

That shift exposed a mismatch I hadn't noticed before: almost all of my productivity shortcuts are keyboard-driven, but my workflow is now mouse-driven.

Taking a screenshot, switching apps, snapping a window, opening a bookmarked URL — none of these are hard. But when your hand is already on the mouse, reaching for the keyboard starts to feel like a workflow break, not a shortcut.

That mismatch is what pushed me to build RightWheel, a small Windows tool that lets me trigger common actions directly from the mouse: hold right-click, scroll, choose an action. I now use it for the handful of actions I was constantly interrupting myself to trigger from the keyboard.

If AI is turning more computer work into reading, reviewing, and orchestrating, then our input habits may need to change too. The keyboard-as-primary-input assumption was built for a different kind of workday.

Curious how others have adapted — whether that's a multi-button mouse, a Stream Deck, a window manager, voice commands, or something else entirely. What's actually changed in your physical setup since your workflow shifted?
