Launch HN: Aqua Voice (YC W24) – Voice-driven text editor
What are your opinions on https://www.cursorless.org/ ?
Are you targeting developers?
My understanding was people who are serious about developing via voice use it pretty exclusively.
Like, yeah you need to learn commands, but "are often not worth it" feels like brushing a pretty massive offering under the rug.
Is learning vi / emacs commands not worth it (or shortcuts in another IDE?)
Is there a middle ground?

Hands-Free Coding (2020)
I would highly recommend checking out https://www.cursorless.org/, an editor for voice built on Talon (what’s being used here by Josh) and a VSCode extension. If for nothing else than to watch the dev live code with it.

Nearly 40% of software engineers will only work remotely
Yep. So I've been working for about fifteen years, had it from the start, but it just keep on getting worse. So now have migrated to a no keyboard solution, and am working on a no mouse solution.
My setup, software:
- talon (https://talonvoice.com/), basing my configuration on the standard repo (https://github.com/knausj85/knausj_talon/), with some minor modifications. This is how I navigate my whole computer, and runs the voice recognition and eye tracking. This is how I'm typing this right now. There are also a bunch of other little system changes that you need to make (eg, on macOS, disable double space to type a period), which is documented by the community with varying levels of success.
- cursorless (https://www.cursorless.org/), and then vscode. Before this I used Sublime Text for years and years, but cursorless is too good for coding. I know there are some projects on going to port it to different editors, but I haven't massively looked into it.
- vimium extension for web browsing (works in both chrome and firefox). This makes things like clicking links easier with your voice, without having too use an eye tracker all the time.
And then hardware:
- DPA 4488 microphone -> DAD6001 microdot-XLR converter -> Shure X2U USB XLR interface. ~£800. It's a very expensive microphone, but it's what the developer of talon uses (same brand anyway), and since I'm using this for work I want to remove every obstacle to having my voice recognised correctly and quickly
- Tobii Eye Tracker 5. ~£250. This is basically the only game in town. It works well enough but needs a lot of light. It also needs to be physically mounted to a monitor. In theory this means I don't need to use a mouse, but because I have a 34" ultrawide it doesn't work well on the edges, so I have a specific window size and location configured (say "layout mouse") which I could move apps into if I need to.
- At some point soon I want to replace the X2U with something higher quality and more permanent on my desk. Soon!

If you're programming, and open to doing it by voice, definitely check out Cursorless: https://www.cursorless.org/

Numen: Voice Control for Handsfree Computing
It's worth mentioning Talon[0] here, which is a system for offline voice control as well, with great python-based scripting.
Using your computer or programming with it works like a charm, with some interesting and impressive projects like Cursorless[1] coming out as well, based on it.

Is there an Obsidian plugin similar to AceJump for IntelliJ IDEs or avy for Emacs?
What I'm looking for is something like AceJump for IntelliJ IDEs or avy for Emacs. These tools let you navigate to some part of the visible text with just a few keystrokes. Here's the behavior I would like in Obsidian, copied from AceJump's page:

Vim-like “jump” cursor for Mac OS Window Management
For my emacs friends, here's a wonderful package that provides the same functionality: https://github.com/abo-abo/avy
And, if you're interested in some historical context for this "type characters and jump to point" functionality, the Canon Cat: https://youtu.be/o_TlE_U_X3c

Kill until next char preceding space | Uppercase | underscore
Personally I've learned to do things the "Emacs way" and got used to its killing behavior. For multi-line stuff I would mark the region and then use navigation commands to get the point where I want it. For more complex scenarios I use either C-s/C-r or just use avy to get the point where it needs to be. For single line stuff I think M-z works well. Maybe this package could be useful to you as well? Just some ideas, I think there are actually many options here (including going over to evil ;) and it depends on your preferences and needs.

I make extensive use of avy for these kinds of situations.

Avy (avy-move-line) can do it very nicely and interactively for you, see this video.

Navigate to positions within long words
Perhaps avy. I would use the commandavy-goto-char-2 then type N a and the corresponding jump key (if it appears). avy-goto-subword-1 is a bit more niche but might also work well.
