Enjoy a keyboard-only experience without the need for a mouse or trackpad. Quickly move, click, and drag the mouse cursor using only your keyboard. Inspired by Vim’s keyboard-first philosophy, it brings common mouse operations to the keyboard, reducing the need to switch between the keyboard and mouse and helping you work more efficiently while staying focused.
At the same time, it is an accessibility tool designed specifically for keyboard-based interaction. It is ideal for users who want to reduce their reliance on a mouse and improve keyboard efficiency, as well as users with limited mobility, motor impairments, hand tremors, arthritis, repetitive strain injuries (RSI), or other conditions that make using a mouse or trackpad difficult, uncomfortable, or painful—making computer interaction simpler and more flexible.
