TL;DR There's simply no grounds for rat-molesters to feel so triggered.
No-one is saying "hacker" means someone who is allergic to mouses, it's not what's being said whatsoever. The Nyxt page there unfortunately leans a bit too heavily on the "keyboard" bit, but the fact that that has taken off as a hot take here in this HN discussion is nonetheless an inaccurate reading of the project.
The point being made is that it's a browser for people who want to configure a browser in Common Lisp, i.e., what's sometimes called "power users" (I don't love that term, personally). It's fully FOSS, and the expected audience is people who know their way around terminals, IDEs, Emacs, vim, and so on.
These types of people often learn the available shortcuts in order to get around faster. Not always. However, programmers and tinkerers who like keyboard shortcuts are first-class citizens in Nyxt, is the point. Vim and Emacs keybindings are available out of the box.
However, CUA bindings and mouse-manipulation are also both fully supported. So, there's no issue.
