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.

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.

Vimium – The Hacker's Browser
It certainly would be but looking at the options tells me that they're hooking into MacOS's widget libs and on Linux there's just so many. What I get by with to go mouseless is Tridactyl for Firefox, warpd for when I need a pointer, and when I absolutely, positively need a mouse, mouse emulation on QMK keyboards never fails me. I only need it these days for dealing with MacOS outside of my Linux VM. I also use keyd in order to remap keyboard shortcuts.

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!

GitHub – rvaiya/warpd: A modal keyboard-driven virtual pointer
Where were you seeing that. I only glanced through a handful of files, but it appears to be one implementation for me:
https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd/tree/master/src/platform/way...
If there is a distinction, and there might be, "completely separate" is exaggerating.

This is great. Is it possible to somehow use it with keyd, as I don't use autohotkey?

Toward a More Useful Keyboard
On Linux, I use keyd[1] and while I understand that keyd itelf could never run on the Mac, I'd love something that could take my keyd conf and make it work (even approximately) on the Mac.

Remapping Caps to Ctrl + Esc
Using Sway means no Xmodmap stuff obviously, so I had previously used caps2esc: https://github.com/weirane/caps2esc and then switched to keyd: https://github.com/rvaiya/keyd

Any chance somebody here has bludgeoned the sezanzeb/input-remapper project on GH to work on void?
There are a lot of daemons for keyboard remapping. I use kmonad, but i was going to try keyd and kanata. Both kmonad and keyd are on the package repository. kanata is not. Kanata with the tcp server could be useful for non global configuration.
