I hope it'll eventually get ported. It's such a useful tool. Much better for me than just moving the mouse around like "mouse keys" would.

Just briefly tried this, keynav seems to do region selection instead of the mouseable's mouse movement way.

You can move the region and thus move the mouse actually:
From: https://www.semicomplete.com/projects/keynav/
> The following is the default configuration:
h : select the left half of the region
j : select the bottom half of the region
k : select the top half of the region
l : select the right half of the region
shift+h : move the region left
shift+j : move the region down
shift+k : move the region top
shift+l : move the region right
semicolon : Move the mouse to the center of the selected region
spacebar : Move the mouse and left-click

Right, that's pretty different from mouseable's demo, which looks like you push keys in the same way you'd push a gamepads' arrow keys. I don't have a windows pc to try mouseable though.
