## What it is
warpd is a modal, keyboard-driven virtual pointer for controlling the mouse cursor without a physical mouse. It supports hint, grid, and normal movement modes on X11, Wayland (wlroots/sway), and macOS.

## Use cases
- control the mouse cursor entirely from the keyboard
- click UI elements using keyboard hints instead of a mouse
- move and warp the pointer with vim-style keybindings
- use a laptop without a working trackpad
- reduce wrist strain by avoiding mouse usage

## When to avoid
- you need Wayland support on GNOME/KDE (only wlroots-based compositors are supported)
- you want a graphical configuration interface
- you need Windows support
