Looks very useful! I especially like the ‘grid mode’ — I would never have thought of that idea myself. It’s just a pity it isn’t available on Windows, though I’ve previously had good experiences with Mousable [https://github.com/wirekang/mouseable].

It's been in https://kaleidoscope.readthedocs.io/en/stable/plugins/Kaleid... for a while (as in, it's a plugin you can include in your custom open source keyboard firmware, with both 2x2 and 3x3 modes.)

When I first tried warp on my new keyboard, I really did not understand what was happening and thought it was bugged. The bindings came by default. I removed them and went on.

A few days later I wanted to add custom macros and had to read the docs. Skimming the warp section made me realize it's basically just recursive space positioning. I tried the mode again, and soon realized how incredibly useful this is.

It's a bit difficult for me to keep the state in my mind when going down the tree because there's no visual indicators. It's a keyboard firmware after all.

Saw this thread just now, I'm gonna try to implement this in AutoIt, let's see how long it takes me! [2022-10-16-09:58-Z]

What is AutoIt? A fork of AutoHotKey?

It's like AutoHotKey but designed to be more programming- rather than scripting-oriented. It is astonishingly easy to create GUIs in AutoIt in comparison, I use it to rapidly prototype UX ideas.

In fact, historically AHK is actually a fork of AutoIt.

Long time warpd user here: You should ditch grid mode for the much more efficient hint mode. Also, check out keyd by the same author. The combination of warpd/keyd easily saves me an hour of work every day.
