In addition to using text editors like vim or emacs and using a tiling window manager, what other programs do you use to reduce usage of the mouse? I recently discovered warpd which is similar to vimium's hint mode but works globally.

I use tridactyl in firefox. Except for emacs and tiling wms I'm not too deep in applications for reducing mouse usage, I tend to use keyboards with 'better mouse placement' for example the tex shura which copies the thinkpad trackpoint, or a corne keyboard with a pimoroni trackball. Or a charybdis nano. Even using a smaller keyboard layout counts imo, my favourite non-ergo keyboard layout is 60% which reduces necessary arm-travel-distance a lot :)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
