In general, people who use computers professionally tend to be using keyboard commands more often than casual users. That being said, hacking in the movies is completely unrelated to how it works in real life, because it’s very difficult to make it look exciting to run a program and wait an hour or so for results. Having the characters type frantically makes for something that looks interesting on screen, so even if that’s completely not what hacking would look like, it gets put in movies anyway.
