Turning a Keyboard into a Mouse with Libevdev
I also enjoyed using https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd on my mac. But was hit with few bugs, where the pointer used to get stuck. Had to keep restarting. But still a nice program to ditch mouse.

using keyboard
for something similar that works with anything even beyond your browser there's warpd. I haven't used it I just know it exists. If you're into custom keyboards QMK can send mouse movements from keypresses too.

Compiling Problem
So I am trying to compile warpd, i followed and installed the dependencies, but when I make, it outputs wayland-client.h not found. Fair enough, I installed geckolinux TW Plasma, NVIDIA working fine, X11 session. I used "zypper se", it showed wayland is installed but nevermind; in the docs they have said that you can 'Set options' to only compile X11 binary. I want only that but I am just racking my brain where to insert 'DISABLE_WAYLAND' option. I know its a most basic and obvious setting but i come from arch where i fully relied on AUR for building so i zero compiling knowledge. I tried RTFM but idk what I have to find. I would be helpful if someone helps me here

How to avoid mouse in macos?
Hey there! You should definitely check out warpd. It's a modal keyboard-driven pointer manipulation program that can help you control the pointer on your screen using just your keyboard.

Ask HN: Programs that saved you 100 hours? (2022 edition)
warpd avoided me spending a lot of time going from the keyboard to the mouse,for simple point and clicks. Honestly it is super useful.

Ask HN: What's the best way to control a cursor from the keyboard on macOS?
I'd like to minimize my need for a mouse but there are some tasks which are just so much simpler with a cursor. I do have some mouse keys setup with Karabiner so that holding "k" and pressing esdf moves the cursor, but I've found this difficult to get used to. I have a few different keys to modify the speed, but it just feels way too convoluted and effortful to to control the cursor this way.
I've also tried warpd [1] but had some issues with it that turned me off to it.
Curious to know if anyone here has had success with something else

TPMouse: control the cursor with the homerow, even if you don't have a ThinkPad
I actually wrote this after seeing https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd on HackerNews and saw multiple people lament that they'd like to be able to use that for Windows. You should definitely check that out!

Turning a Keyboard into a Mouse with Libevdev
And for Windows, my https://github.com/esporttoys/TPMouse was inspired by warpd itself but focuses more on the intuitive usability of direct cursor control via inertia/momentum.

Cosmic Skies of a Colorado July
You may be interested in how I did my Windows script for adding three-finger drag[0].
Basically, it is an independent subscriber to RawInput messages that only keeps track of whether or not to send three-finger drag, and posts emulated mouse messages using SendInput. I have a few other scripts that each run as independent userland processes that only monitors their own trigger and nothing else.
Tangentially, not sure if this might serve for some inspiration, but my TPMouse[1] script implemented inertia in a framerate-independent way so that it uses very little resource while having perfect simulation stability.
A previous discussion where I explained the analytic derivation for this low-resource exact-solution damped inertia can be seen in [10]

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
With the TPMouse script I implemented the activation shortcut as LShift+RShift+ which I felt had a nice balance between deliberateness and easy-to-reach (since you are using it with your hands on homerow).
Though because some keyboards have key rollover issues with using both Shifts, Capslock+ is also allowed as an alternative activation shortcut.

AutoHotKey V2 (Breaking Upgrade)
I personally use AutoIt a ton as a super fast way to quickly prototype GUIs. It's basically a really simple entrypoint for WinAPI.
Shameless plug: my script for emulating a trackball with your keyboard [0], and my tray app for quickly tweaking your cursor speed (usually for when I'm drawing something)[1]
