SDL3 is still in preview, but the new GPU API is now merged into the main branch while SDL3 maintainers apply some final tweaks. As far as I understand: the new GPU API is notable because it should allow writing graphics code & shaders

Modeless Keyboard Navigation[0] is a fork of Vimium by an RSI sufferer that doesn't have the mode switching element (but does keep all the other actual features); instead you use Control/Alt + whatever key combinations. Basically
