Recently, I had written a post mentioning basics of my fully keyboard oriented workflow on Windows.

I mention the BrowseCut chromium plugin over there, which made navigating all kinds of pages, a total breeze.

Expecting questions if the BrowseCut extension works with Duolingo. It does not. Although, I have not had issues on any other pages.

Vimium has better smooth scrolling. I really, really want to use Tridactyl, but I just can't stomach their smooth-scrolling implementation.

Ha! I actually switched from Vimium to Tridactyl partly because I prefer the rough, snappy scrolling. It felt much more like the ctrl+d ctrl+u navigation in VIM.

I installed Vimium a few months ago and haven't looked back -> https://vimium.github.io/ Mouseless as well for navigating anywhere on the computer without a mouse -> https://mouseless.click/

For macOS users, I highly recommend ShortCat: https://shortcat.app/ ShortCat uses the accessibility API to put Vimium-style keyboard links on buttons and text fields in any app. I find that Vimium works faster in Firefox than using ShortCat to click around websites, so I use both, but ShortCat technically should do everything (clicking-wise) that Vimium does.

Shortcat has a ~second delay before showing links, homerow (https://www.homerow.app) is faster.
