Some apps have crappy accessibility so Homerow doesn't always work in some apps. so I kind of want to try mouseless as well. I might end up rocking both at the same time.
Scoot supports element-based navigation (c/o accessibility APIs), plus grid-based navigation, via two separate modes: https://github.com/mjrusso/scoot Unfortunately both modes are necessary, because many apps have all sorts of accessibility issues.

> To the point of making it harder to find a job Fwiw... (1) Lenovo sells compact keyboards with trackpoint. USB and bluetooth. There are mouse buttons below Space, but it cuts off there, with no pad. I once taped a kludgy bare usb pad to one, which was ok, but the extra couple of cm separation was annoying. I considered grinding out some of the case, but don't recall if that turned out plausible. (2) Lenovo has tabl…
> (1) Lenovo sells compact keyboards with trackpoint Where can I get it? They stopped selling them around 2 years ago AFAIK. I have a few of them, but they are not very durable, so used ones are probably not a good option. Only alternative I know of is https://tex.com.tw

A tiled window manager with Qutebrowser and it's vimium style shortcuts is the closest I have come to this.
I just hit tab 1 to N times and hope for the best. I wonder if VIM style search on elements with a new HTML tag attribute would work (at least for browsers).
It would be great if they built Vim style shortcuts into the spec and browser like you suggested but in the time being we have the Vimium extensions for other browsers. Personally I am not a fan of extensions unless I write them myself.

Obviously depends on your workflow but I think I use mouse only on websites on macos (with aerospace)
If you're interested in keyboard navigation of websites, consider a browser or extension with link hinting support! It worked really well in my experience a few years ago, although I've since became much more of a mouse guy and stopped using it. Qutebrowser was my favorite browser for keyboard navigation but firefox, chrome, etc. have extensions for this as well.

Vimium extension does that. Works well too. Works on Chrome and Firefox.
Some 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 ).
Huh, people use the mouse with vim? Or am I missing something?
I 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 highly encourage you to vibecode something. Its really easy. You can get a small fast library that can do OCR with coordinates, and the rest is just interfacing with the x server to draw stuff over the top.
