I recently rediscovered Ratpoison WM and the origin of its name (tl;dr it is meant to prevent the need for using a mouse). I think the main issue for me really is that navigating the web is sometimes faster with a pointer. I already use vim and the shell for everything else, but navigating Google Maps or Wikipedia or Stack Overflow is just easier when you can point and scroll.

You may be thinking of [Homerow]( https://www.homerow.app/ ) for Macos. Its okay for popups that I used to need a mouse for. There's another app that does similar "Vimium for Desktop" but it wasn't as responsive and sometimes focus would get stuck, but I forgot that software's name.
Oh nice, thanks for sharing this. I don't think it was homerow (or it has evolved a lot). I'll give this one a go to see if this helps me touch less my mouse
(Though I personally drive niri with a lot of touchpad gestures. Three-finger swipes up/down/left/right etc are great.)
This is one of the things that pisses me off about MacOS. Every other majot OS out there at least offers a good failsafe keyboard navigation built in to each UI component. In a pinch, the keyboard is your friend, at least until your pointing device is back up. MacOS: lol, sorry, bluetooth settings require a pointing device to add a new one. Keyboard navigation? Sure. It worked up until this part, but we didn't bother…
Did you enable this setting? If yes, can you tell me more what's missing? https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mchlc06d1059/...

Had to use a Mac at a job last year. It wasn't used much so the mouse wasn't charged. Why oh why is the mouse unusable when it's charging!?
Not sure what I'll try. Split ergo keyboard maybe, and try to get my development workflow to work as mouselessly as possible. I only wish nvim worked better with Java. It's still a bit too flakey. Painfully almost works. Maybe there are some Idea plugins or somethng.

The worst for me is being able to select the non-default option in an alert window. Sometimes CMD + 'the first letter of the word in the button' works, but that's like a 30% chance. How is there not a standard for that? I'd even accept the arrow keys + Enter at this point.
