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
