This is great, and it gives me an idea for an alternative:
A tool that uses a visual representation of your physical keyboard to move the mouse around the screen. So pressing Esc would move the mouse to the top left of the screen, and pressing H would move it closer to the center. Then repeatedly highlight smaller and smaller rectangles around the mouse cursor, repeating the process of tapping a letter, until you are satisfied with the cursor position.
- rnmp 2y agoI've wanted this for years
- freddy12345 2y agoI don't get the last part where you repeatedly have smaller and smaller rectangles, can you expand on that? How are the rectangles defined? I pressed H, I'm at the center of the screen. Now what?

- freddy12345 2y agoOk so just a warpd/keynav style grid mode then? I thought OP was describing a novel concept based on the idea that initially the whole keyboard would represent the entire screen.
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoYeah, "Grid Mode" sounds similar. But instead of only 4 zones it would just roughly map the keyboard to dozens of invisible zones based on the position of the keys on the keyboard. So it would mostly be by feel. I have no idea if this would be better or worse than "Grid Mode" but it would be interesting to try it.
