Irssi is a fabulous text-based IRC client that I've been using for years, and the openurl plugin lets me 'click' on links so they open in my browser. Most open source communities use IRC and so I spend a lot of time there. I have no idea why this doesn't come out of the box but this tool helps a lot.įeels like a terminal and has bells and whistles that I may never master but I spent most of my time in a terminal so perhaps I should. Makes alt + tab work within a desktop space rather than cycling through all open applications This is the app that means I don't have to find console-equivalent tools for everything I do, I can use a GUI tool just like you! I don't want to overstate this but this tool allows me to click on more or less anything on my screen. Awesome for productivity nuts as well as computer-crippled people :)

Absolutely excellent editor that I can drive entirely from the keyboard though, basically this is the tool that allows me to be a software developer.Ĭontrol your browser entirely from the keyboard. I cheated here since I've been a vim user for a decade. There's more detail on a few of these apps but here is a quick overview of the tools I've installed and found helpful Tool Since keyboard-only use is also great for productivity, you may also find some of these ideas useful, in which case at least something good has come of this :) Apps List I rather unwisely took a job which required me to use a mac (I've been a linux user until now and also had the ability to choose my tools carefully) so here is my cheatsheet of the apps, tricks and keyboard shortcuts I'm using, mostly for my own reference. I've tried a number of extra hardware modifications but what works best for me is to use the keyboard and only the keyboard, so I'm in a good position and never reaching for anything else (except my coffee cup!).

I have had RSI issues since a bad workstation setup at work in 2006.
