    A tiling window manager for X11

    I am mostly mouse-free too, so I feel inclined to answer.

    For many pieces of software it's possible to use it with a keyboard-only. This is neccessary for accessibility, but it's also just what the good old hotkeys do.

    Doesn't work for everything but it already gets you very far.

    On top of that, there is some software that is made to cater specifically to keyboard-only use. Many tiling window manager work well with just a keyboard ( I personally am partial to i3[0]) and even for webbrowsers there are extensions like tridactyl[1] that make it easier to use without a mouse. That doesn't work for everything. It's possible to do 3d work without a mouse - but I find it easier to have access to a mouse. Specifically a trackpad.

    This can of course be turned on it's head, and you can use something like dasher[2] to do your typing and - to get this back on topic - dasher can be used together with eye tracking to live a "keyboard free life"
