for those that have used node and wire programming systems frequently, how often are both your hands on your keyboard vs only one? been watching a designer colleagues hand movement recently and it's super interesting how different it is than my own, and that designers don't seem to complain about having to move back and forth that much. I think drawing boxes (or if you take it all the way, AutoCAD style work) with a keyboard is a non-starter, and they're only typing rarely, so they end up with mouse hand for the fine inputs and keyboard hand for tool selection or chords

i’m also curious if any of these systems are designed to be used specifically with one hand on the keyboard and one on a mouse the vast majority of the time

Depends on the tool, but I see the default as right hand on mouse and left hand on keyboard.

Yeah, I'd mostly have 1 hand on each while working, and then only use both hands on the keyboard once in a while. Just like any GUI creative tool.
