BUT you now can do

Voila, 4 keystrokes saved :-)
All right. Let's talk about that.
When I write "print", it is both effortless and instantaneous : my
hands do not move, a wave goes through my fingers, it all happens in a
tenth of a second.
Contrast this with what one has to go through to catch the SHIFT key,
and then the "(" : move the left hand, press SHIFT, move the right
hand, aim "(", press, miss, press again. Same thing at the end of the
function call.
I know it sounds ridiculous, but it does *impair* my debugging
productivity. Taylor would agree.
If the relative difference between pressing space & ( impairs your
absolute debugging productivity, it pretty much follows that the latter
must be very low for such a minimal overhead to make such a difference.
Try learning touchtype. Might increase your debugging, programming &
writing productivity manyfold.
