I'd like to minimize my need for a mouse but there are some tasks which are just so much simpler with a cursor. I do have some mouse keys setup with Karabiner so that holding "k" and pressing esdf moves the cursor, but I've found this difficult to get used to. I have a few different keys to modify the speed, but it just feels way too convoluted and effortful to to control the cursor this way.<p>I've also tried warpd [1] but had some issues with it that turned me off to it.<p>Curious to know if anyone here has had success with something else<p>[1] https://github.com/rvaiya/warpd
The software warpd you mentioned is a modal driver to control the mouse.
Why not just use the standard mac os keyboard shortcuts? See [1] for an overview.<p>Or maybe your are looking for a tiling window manager like amethyst [2]?<p>Maybe you would like to use a tool like hammerspoon[3]?<p>Caveat emptor, all these „productivity improvements“ are a rabbit hole and a continuing distraction.<p>[1] <a href="https://osxdaily.com/2007/12/13/navigating-mac-os-x-with-only-the-keyboard/" rel="nofollow">https://osxdaily.com/2007/12/13/navigating-mac-os-x-with-onl...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst</a><p>[3] <a href="http://www.hammerspoon.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hammerspoon.org/</a>
I guess you mean “mouse pointer”, not “cursor”? If so, there’s Mouse Keys (<a href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh27469/mac" rel="nofollow">https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mh27469/mac</a>), but that means giving up easy access to essential keyboard keys, especially on laptops. If you have a numerical keypad, that may not be that bad, but that’s for you to judge.<p>You can also use a camera and control the mouse pointer with your head (<a href="https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlb2d4782b/13.0/mac/13.0" rel="nofollow">https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/mac-help/mchlb2d4782b/...</a>). I don’t know how well that works.
<a href="https://wooshy.app" rel="nofollow">https://wooshy.app</a> works actually quite well, although a lot depends on the app. It's useless in Evernote for example.
I have a keyboard with QMK firmware and it's very easy to map the keys to control your mouse. Plus since it's on the keyboard firmware, the solution works on all platforms.
