Scoot is a tiny utility app that provides fast, keyboard-driven control over the mouse pointer. Scoot lets you move your mouse—and click and drag, too—all from the comfort of your keyboard!

Each location is identified by a unique character sequence, making each element (or cell) uniquely addressable with the keyboard — simply type the associated key sequence to teleport your mouse cursor to that location.

Scoot is experimental. Is it possible to craft a keyboard-driven mouse movement utility that's actually efficient? Something that you'll actually want to use? This is going to take some trial and error.

Scoot complements mouse-related accessibility tools that ship as part of MacOS, such as Mouse Keys and other accessibility shortcuts, in addition to mouse emulation provided via keyboard firmware like QMK.

To activate Scoot in the element-based navigation mode, use the ⇧⌘J global keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, to activate Scoot in the grid-based navigation mode, use the ⇧⌘K global keyboard shortcut.
