In my personal setup that lets me use either hand/side of the keyboard, I’ve mapped ⌃ (Ctrl) + wasd OR ijkl to my mouse movements. Karabiner works by mapping mouse actions (mouse up, down, left, right, click, etc) onto the keyboard. I would list Karabiner as my first tool, but the process to set up and break in is a tad more involved. Karabiner is a true replacement to mouse input, and since picking it up I’ve retired my mouse. Mouse keys “Mouse killer” (Ubuntu and macOS) Completely controlled by my keyboard! Note: The beta is free, but the paid version costs $18. But when it works, it does save quite a few clicks, especially because you can select the button with ⌃ (Ctrl) + index, similar to Vimium’s indexing of links. It can be slower since you have to search the text, and doesn’t work in all circumstances. Shortcat is pretty useful for answering dialog boxes or clicking things with a kind of search index of the buttons on your entire screen. Select candidate button indexed with letters The functionality of Vimium’s UI indexing now universal on macOS and also being able to search the menu bar ( I’ve been waiting for someone to make this indexing functionality for MacOS overall, and Update 9/23/20: This functionality finally exists on MacOS, but at a price. The advantage of this is that indexing is not yet perfect. The difference between Vimac and iCMD is that there is a scrolling mode I find useful, and that iCMD has two UI indexing modes you can activate - a lighter one and a heavier one. Vimac works essentially the same as iCMD below. Update 11/22/20: I now recommend Vimac over iCMD since it’s free, open source, and just as good. If you’re a fan of vim, you’ve got a headstart with shortcuts. Mouse-free web browsingĪs you can see above, it can take care of just about all your needs. It’s easy to use, and I’ve never gone back to using my mouse in my browser again. Because most of us habitate inside our web browsers (this tool works on Google Chrome or Safari), Vimium is essential. If you ignored everything else, this is the tool I’d recommend.
