| For macOS users, I highly recommend ShortCat: https://shortcat.app/ ShortCat uses the accessibility API to put Vimium-style keyboard links on buttons and text fields in any app. I find that Vimium works faster in Firefox than using ShortCat to click around websites, so I use both, but ShortCat technically should do everything (clicking-wise) that Vimium does. |

| Shortcat has a ~second delay before showing links, homerow (https://www.homerow.app) is faster. |

| ▲ | ehnto 3 days ago | parent | next [-] | | I wonder if it has to do with accessibility API thread locking. I found a different extension I used to emulate an i3 style environment suffered when I used the Unity game engine. It ended up being limitations of the accessibility API. | | |
| ▲ | sooheon 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Could be, but there is another app that does the same thing faster so there must be some optimizations available. |
| |
| ▲ | ashton314 3 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | This delay is configurable. The delay is there so you can actually type a bit before the UI pops up, and then the UI will be filtered to just your selection. | | |
| ▲ | sooheon 2 days ago | parent [-] | | The configuration lies. Even with "Show hints" set to "Immediately", there is a long delay. Feels like half a second on M1 Pro. | | |
| ▲ | ashton314 15 hours ago | parent [-] | | Fair, fair—it's default is longer, so dialing it down made it feel zippy by comparison. I'm trying out Homerow and I'm really liking it! Thanks for mentioning it. I might end up sticking with it actually. |

| I wish this was paid or open source… |
| |
| ▲ | ashton314 3 days ago | parent [-] | | As I understand it, a payment system is in the works. I would gladly fork over some cash to support ShortCat. Looks like someone recommended Homerow, which appears to be pretty comparable to ShortCat, and it has a one-time purchase option. |
