This is not how I imagine "turning a keyboard into a mouse" to behave. How is this even practically useful? A better solution is to hold a combination of meta keys like ctrl-shift-alt or the like with one hand and use the keyboard like a trackpad with the other, except by "sliding" the keys while they are pressed since almost all keyboards are not touch sensitive. This of course would work best with flatter keys and not mechanical ones.
- vore 3y agoIsn't what they're doing just how mouse keys works?
- fuzzythinker 3y agoNot according to the video. It has no resemblance to the way I described.
- mat_epice 3y agoMouse keys is a specific technology that uses the numpad arrow keys to move the mouse pointer, just like in the video.

- doix 3y agoEither I am completely misunderstanding you, or what you're saying sounds absolutely horrible and unusable to me. Are you saying you that you would hold some modifier combo and then slide your finger over g,h,j,k,l to go right? How is that anymore usable? You're doing so much movement you may as well just reach for a mouse or touchpad. Also I have no idea how you'd calibrate that to move a sensible amount across short/long distances. Or are you suggesting something else? I don't understand what you mean by "sliding".
