wl-kbptr – move the mouse pointer with the keyboard

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.
