Not saying you're horribly gimped if you use keyboard and mouse or anything, but the maneuver I described in the post you quoted is literally impossible to perform on a keyboard and mouse setup. The keyboard will lock you out because they generally can't send more than 3 keys simultaneously.
See, to me that's too many fingers having to move too much. I have my left index finger on my strafe hat, left hand on the throttle obviously, left middle finger on the scroll wheel (Which I only use as a button, for engaging my FSD). My left thumb has boost and reverse thrust under it. I've obviously got roll, pitch, and yaw on my stick (Twist for yaw, because real men use roll and pitch most), right thumb has my next weapon group button, fire 2, next/previous target, and power management, right index finger has fire1, and right pinky has the switch I hold down to use the hat on the stick for focusing on UI panels instead of doing power management.
My thumbs are the only digits that ever have to move between multiple controls in combat.
