Unless you are doing something overly complex or
baroque, whatever tech process | shortcuts | tricks
you may be employing with the software, it *should*
all become transparent to you with sufficient and
regular usage. That is to say, you will no longer
even perceive it on a conscious level, any more than
you do the mechanics of typing. (Just my 2 cents
worth.)
