In addition to using text editors like vim or emacs and using a tiling window manager, what other programs do you use to reduce usage of the mouse? I recently discovered warpd which is similar to vimium’s hint mode but works globally.

    Some of the suggestions here really illustrate how it isn’t really accurate to call Emacs a text editor, it’s a Lisp-based text manipulation environment that can run text editors and many other apps.

    File manager, email client, git client, and many more run in Emacs, and function together in coherent ways that creates a comfortable environment for avoiding the mouse.

    I’m almost entirely in Emacs or the browser, and I only use the mouse for some of the browser time.

    Of course the mouse works if you want it to, but generally I don’t.
