Project mention: A mouseless tale: trying for a keyboard-driven desktop | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-02-01
If anyone is trying to reach mouseless nirvana on Windows, I maintain a tiling window manager[1] and a hotkey daemon[2] (though you can bring your own thanks to the architecture choices I made), the former of which provides a very robust event subscription system which you can integrate with using any language of your choice.
One of the cooler parts of my little mouseless ecosystem is that I automatically have different keyboard layers (QMK style) activate depending on which application is currently focused, saving me a whole bunch of time fumbling around with obscure hotkey combinations for changing layers![3]

Creating a background service / daemon on macOS can be quite confusing. The native service that macOS ships with is called launchCTL, and it is not very intuitive at all to figure out. Each service has several different states that it can be in (enabled, disabled, not enabled, bootstrapped). I was writing a Rust daemon called srhd, and I found the process nightmarish. I created a Rust crate to make the process much simpler for anyone who faces this problem in the future.
