  • 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.

  • mouseable

    'Mouseable' is intended to replace a mouse or trackpad.

  • Looks very useful! I especially like the ‘grid mode’ — I would never have thought of that idea myself. It’s just a pity it isn’t available on Windows, though I’ve previously had good experiences with Mousable [https://github.com/wirekang/mouseable].

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • mouse-grid

    Utility for clicking on things. Like a mouse, but it's not a mouse.

  • scoot

    Keyboard-driven MacOS cursor actuator

  • A very similar tool for macOS, inherently more native, called Scoot [1]

  • AutoWarpd

    Discontinued Vim-like homerow-driven mouse navigation for Windows [Moved to: https://github.com/EsportToys/TPMouse]

  • hunt-and-peck

    Simple vimium/vimperator style navigation for Windows applications based on the UI Automation framework.

  • 2. Hunt and Peck: https://github.com/zsims/hunt-and-peck has been my favorite, a simple version of shortcat for windows. But, it's not maintained and not as slick as some of these newer tools.

  • AhkCoordGrid

    AutoHotkey code for Windows overlay grid allowing you to emulate mouse click at different points on the screen using keyboard shortcuts

  • For windows users that would love something like this I recommend https://github.com/GavinPen/AhkCoordGrid

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • keyd

    A key remapping daemon for linux.

  • TPMouse

    A virtual trackball for Windows, via vim-like homerow controls.

  • A bit late to the party, but I’ve just released v1.0 of TPMouse, for Windows: https://github.com/EsportToys/TPMouse
