You point when you *can't* express your wish. It is a last,
style-less resort. "You [point] do (something)" (like some moron)
"What, me? Him?". Compared to *knowing* (which is always better):
"Carl, take care of (something)."
With pixels, it is more difficult, *but not that much*. With
training, everything is possible to express.
If you go to the forest, and call you friends "There are bunch of
trees - uh...". But do it ten times, and you will be able to
describe the scene so precisely they will know instantly where
you are. (If they underwent the same training, that is.)
There is a book - an e-book, at least - called "tmux: Productive
Mouse-Free Development" - I haven't read it, yet, but the title is
very promising.
