At the very least, I'd like to see Office 2007 type behavior where, as you press the keyboard accelerator key, all the possible keyboard shortcuts "light up".
It's a shame more applications don't go out of their way to make keyboard shortcuts more discoverable. Most applications have tons of useful keyboard shortcuts you just have to put down your mouse long enough to discover a few of them. Editing text and moving your cursor with basic textbox shortcuts.Going to a website using Alt+ D and Ctrl+ Enter.Logging in with the keyboard, using Tab and Enter.Here are a few examples of how even the simplest keyboard shortcuts can make your daily routine easier: But most people I've observed using the computer these days rely almost exclusively on the mouse, to the detriment of their overall computer experience. I remember when mice were new I'd never want to go back to the bad old days of keyboard-only interfaces. But it will pay off down the road: you'll spend less time mousing around, and more time getting things done. Stop for a moment, resist taking the easy way out with the mouse, and force yourself to learn at least one new keyboard shortcut per day. Keyboard shortcuts are almost always more efficient than using the mouse to point and click your way around the computer – but you'll never learn them if you keep leaning on your trusty mouse to do all the work. Jeremy Miller calls this the first step to coding faster. When you stop relying on the mouse for everything, you're forced to learn the keyboard shortcuts. If that were to be the case, essentially all my computing could be done without a mouse.One of the quickest ways to increase your productivity on the computer is to go commando: stop using the mouse. I might try vimari out to see if browsing without a mouse is feasible. Most of us probably wouldn’t want to do away with a mouse in most situations, but it’s nice to know that it’s possible. There’s even disable-mouse if you want to enforce mouseless editing within Emacs.
#MOUSELESS BROWSING SOFTWARE#
It turns out though, that vimari does the same thing for Safari and bytes in has a list of similar software to allow mouseless browsing with other browsers.
#MOUSELESS BROWSING MAC#
First because as a Mac user I don’t have EXWM available but also because I use Safari and don’t have tridactyl available either. He notes that he found not having the mouse made him even faster. As he reports over at the Emacs subreddit, he was in the middle of doing his homework when his mouse failed but was able to continue because he was using Emacs, probably using EXWM, and had made arrangements for mouseless browsing in Firefox with tridactyl. That’s what happened to loafofpiecrust when his mouse failed.
Sometimes, though, the choice is snatched away from you and you’re forced to live without a mouse. Why would anyone want to do that? As I’ve said in other contexts, you can live without air conditioning too but why would you? Some, like Rob Pike, have even claimed that using a mouse is faster than using a keyboard.Įmacs users, of course, famously revile the use of a mouse with their editor but likely fall back to using it in other contexts such as a browser. If you grew up with computers using a GUI interface, the idea of not using a mouse probably seems ridiculous.
