Ask HN: Software to Navigate OS with Keyboard?
I read about an app that allows the user to navigate their OS with keyboard. It isn't tab-based (pressing tab moves through menus etc), and it isn't controlling the mouse with keys. Instead, it divides the screen into sections, and pressing a key puts the mouse in a section. I think the section then subdivides into more sections, and pressing a key moves into one of those sections, etc, until your mouse is on the button or input you want. And it's supposed to be super-fast.
Anyway, I've tried googling for it but can only find tab-based nav or controlling the mouse with a keyboard. Any ideas?
- throwaway888abc 6y agoYou are looking for "tiling manager", "mouseless", alternatively "tmux", "vim" There is some learning involved but the productivity boost is great. Some links https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager https://regolith-linux.org/ https://regolith-linux.org/ https://i3wm.org/ https://i3wm.org/
- auslegung 6y agoI don't think that's what I'm looking for. I use a tiling window manager already. I'm talking about using the keyboard to put your cursor on a specific part of the screen (note, not to replicate mouse movements, which I also do via keyboard already)
