Hints is a Linux desktop application that lets you navigate GUI applications entirely with your keyboard by overlaying typeable hints on interactive elements, inspired by Vimium. It supports clicking, right-clicking, dragging, hovering, and scrolling via vim-style keybindings on both X11 and Wayland.
Use cases
- use linux without a mouse
- click gui buttons with keyboard
- vimium for the linux desktop
- keyboard-driven window navigation
- drag and hover without a mouse
- scroll with vim keybindings
When to choose
- you want mouseless navigation of Linux GUI apps
- you prefer vim-style keyboard workflows
- you use X11 or a supported Wayland compositor
When to avoid
- you need dragging on Wayland (compositor-dependent)
- you run Windows or macOS
- your system lacks a compositing setup
