Project mention: Mouseless – keyboard-driven control of macOS/Linux/Windows | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-06-05
> https://github.com/y3owk1n/neru
...which supports both Vimium-style hints mode as well as the grid-based approach shown in this "Mouseless (app) explained in 80 seconds" video. It also has a very responsive maintainer.
Personally I like vimium's approach much better than the grid. Unfortunately not everything has a good accessibility tree (Zed sadly doesn't), but I just realized loading neru's page that I'm behind in versions. I haven't tried the "Native Vision OCR" mode yet.
I also like having a trackpad right on the keyboard (using a SoflePLUS2 right now). Then I can use a real pointing device with only a slight movement of one hand. In the Mouseless video, the creator has tried to minimize the distance by putting the mouse between the halves of his keyboard, but I think he's both compromised the keyboard position to ease using the mouse (halves a bit far apart, untented, wrists turned inward rather than keyboard splayed outward) and might have an uncomfortably small mousepad to avoid doing this even more. Not a compromise I'd want to make.
