Any APIs or apps that allow for complete keyboard navigation OS-wide, including inside apps (lemmy.world)

macOS has a variety of apps like Homerow, Shortcat, and KindaVim (watch the videos in those links if u can) that allow for navigation of apps using just the keyboard. Homerow allows for pressing a hotkey and then showing letters over UI elements which can be entered to move the mouse to said element, similar to the Vim easymotion plugin. KindaVim attempts to implement vim modal navigation inside GUI apps, so you can enter normal or visual mode and use j and k to move up or down. They all work using macOS' accessibility API which exposes UI elements for programmatic interaction.

I did a bunch of searches for Linux equivalent of such apps and Mac's accessibility API, and didn't find anything as comprehensive. Can you navigate a wide variety of Linux apps using mostly or only the keyboard (apps made with GTK, Electron, etc.)? Is it currently possible to develop an equivalent of the apps listed above?

Is the Gecko engine the only reason Mozilla still exists? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

The only reason Mozilla still exists is because Google needs them to so Chrome can’t be a complete monopoly.

Yep this is exactly what I meant. Maybe I should've made that clear.

I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

SimpleLogin premium, with their domain. But I can't blame them for not wanting to ruin the simplelogin.com domain

Firefox@Lemmy.ml: Is it possible to install Firefox addons in Thunderbird? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 7 points 4 months ago

I'd definitely wanna block embedded trackers though

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: What are the best ways to minimize fingerprinting on Firefox? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 5 points 4 months ago

You're absolutely right micro-optimization, I found that I did too much of that in 2022 and 23 and really cut down on that this year, I found that doing so is basically never worth it. I'm not gonna do that with privacy either, I'm focusing on what actions I can take that will make big improvements to my privacy rather than tweak every little thing.

Privacy@Lemmy.ml: How well do sites like Blacklight work for checking if sites use trackers? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I have UBlock Origin, I assume that one that one is good?

Lemmy.ml: Any addons like Stylus for websites styles, that can automatically backup files on my device? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/firefox@lemmy.ml

[-] TheTwelveYearOld@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I've received complaints about spamming posts so I added the instance names in the titles. I thought there's no harm in posting crossposting, I know Lemmy is federated but I want to ensure they show up instead of hoping for automatic feed algorithm to show them when it may or may not.

IDK why I so much flak. If any here downvotes my posts or this comment please respond below with your thoughts to help me figure out how to move forward.

Why do I always have an infinite loop for CloudFlare "Checking if the site connection is secure" verification when I don't have the page open in a container? by TheTwelveYearOld in c/firefox@lemmy.ml
