Throw away that mouse

Mouseless browsing screenshot

I’m not a big fan of using the mouse. It pains me to reach for it to accomplish something. That’s why I was really excited to find the Mouseless Browsing add-on for Firefox.

From the add-on’s homepage:

Mouseless Browsing (MLB) is a Firefox-Extension which enables you to browse the internet with the keyboard. The basic principle is to add small boxes with unique ids behind every link and/or form element. You just have to type in the id and press enter (there is also an automatice mode available) to trigger the corresponding action i.e. following a link, pressing a button or selecting a textfield.

I could never get w3m working how I liked it so Mouseless Browsing really scratches an itch I have.

For complete mouseless computing try Integrated Keyboarding at:
www.inkeyboard.com
which allows you to move the mouse and cursor, highlight, scroll, drag, number and delete without moving your hands from the homekey position.
