Other options for mouseless navigation on MacOS:

- [1] warpd - uses grid

- [2] Scoot - uses grid

- [3] Shortcat - uses accessibility ui

- [4] Superkey - uses text ocr

Wasn’t there a builtin solution in macOS directly?

I would love to know if there is. macOS has, IME, terrible keyboard support. Even navigating Finder is a nightmare. The new 'tiling' is sort-of keyboard accessible - some apps work, some don't.

To my knowledge, "Full Keyboard Access" in the accessibility settings is about as close as you can get; however, it falls rather significantly short compared to 3rd party applications. Try to enabling the setting, and you will see what I mean.

Highly recommend shortcat.

I've had shortcat installed for a year or more, but it has never "stuck" with me. What are some of your "Can't live without"s?

I’m not sure I understand the question. The short cuts are dynamic, I don’t know what any of them are.

Great list. Small correction: the latest version of Scoot (admittedly, I haven't updated it in quite some time) offers both grid and accessibility-based navigation modes.

Thank you so much for creating Scoot, by the way. I wanted to create my own ShortCat like app for macOS, and Scoot has been a great source of inspiration (on top of being useful, of course!).

Also [Homerow](https://www.homerow.app/) is really good

That website crashes my browser on iOS (Orion fwiw). I recall this being an issue the last time I checked it out 6-12 months ago.

Hard pressed to think of any other sites that I’ve seen this issue with, super curious about what is actually happening there.

A very good list. You should add https://github.com/nchudleigh/vimac to the list. It works similar to shortcat but I found Vimac to be more performant and reliable.

I've found mousemaster (windows) to be excellent and the dev incredibly nice and responsive
