i3wm with bindings in config to use xdotool to move and click the mouse is what i use.

#122Using closed source software to drive my OS doesn't sound that appealing to me.
Then don't buy it. Not everything in the world needs to be made free just for you.
If you don’t like their opinion, you don’t have to respond. Not every opinion you disagree with on the internet requires a response from you.

If you don't like my opinion, you don't have to respond. Yet you chose to anyways. Curious.

#124Some existing similar tools for those who might be curious. For vim, there's easymotion or hop.nvim. For tmux, there's Morantron/tmux-fingers. For Chrome, there's Vimium. You can also flash your keyboard to have mouse controls ( https://docs.qmk.fm/features/mouse_keys ).
:bow: thanks!

#125I prefer ShortCat's model: https://shortcat.app/ Similar to Vimium, but for the whole OS. Apparently Homerow is similar, judging from comments I'm seeing here. I really wish I knew an equivalent for Linux. I might even leave Gnome behind if a different DE has a good model for this.
I like shortcat, but it's slow, even on a modern Mac.
Also, I'm not sure the dynamic nature of the hotkeys is a good thing. I could imagine if you use Mouseless for a long period of time, muscle memory might prevail as screen locations map to the same set of keys.

I used to use (and love) ShortCat, but it got too slow on my ancient MacBook Pro. I switched to Mouseless, and I actually prefer it now.
Yeah, I tried on an Intel MBP years ago when it was first launched. It was super slow, and I disregarded it. I just gave it a try on an M4 Pro; it's not instantaneous like Vimmium, but it is usable. I am sold!

I didn’t say I didn’t like your opinion. Just responding in the same manner you treated someone else.

#128I’ve never seen anything like this. Really cool to see a UX that is totally novel.

Like the linked article says, every time I set up a new Mac, I’m annoyed that this isn’t the default.
I get that this might annoy you, but there is a direct trace all the way back to the original Mac in 1984 that required a mouse. As time went on and the two other OSes we still have gained mouse support (Windows, Linux) from their keyboard roots, they brought forward their ethos of keyboard navigation. Mac OS resolutely stayed attached to its mouse only roots.

Well Tim, I suppose the blind do outnumber the handless.
