wl-kbptr — short for Wayland Keyboard Pointer — is a utility to help move the mouse pointer with the keyboard.
To enable to select a target and click, it has four different modes:
- floating — which uses arbitrary areas either given by the user or detected,
- tile — which uses a grid to select areas,
- bisect — which enables to bisect an area,
- split — which enables to successively split an area,
- and click — which triggers a click in the middle of an area.
These are set with the modes configuration field and can be chained, e.g. wl-kbptr -o modes=tile,bisect.
This is free and open source software.
