On Debian and Ubuntu you can install these packages:\n\n    sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libxinerama-dev libxdo-dev\n\nNext you simply run make:\n\n    make\n\nThis will produce an executable `./keynav` which may be run directly (or copied\nsomewhere in your path). You can also install (by default directly to `/usr`)\nvia `make install`.\n\nOn FreeBSD (and, I expect, other non-GNU platforms), you will want to use gmake.\n\n\nFAQ\n---\n\nQ: What platforms are supported?  \nA: keynav should work on nearly any Unix-like that runs X11. It has been\nconfirmed to work on extremely varied GNU/Linux systems (incuding RPM-based,\nDebian derivatives, musl-based systems, and Arch), and FreeBSD. If you get it to\nrun elsewhere, please let me know so I can add it to the list. If you try to run\nit on another Unix-like and have trouble, please get in touch and I'll try to\nhelp. If attempting to run elsewhere, note that we currently have a dependency\non GNU Make (gmake), and it hasn't been tested with many compilers yet.\n\nQ: Does it work on Android/Windows/Wayland/iOS/...?  \nA: Sadly, no; keynav is totally dependent on X11, and porting it to any other\ngraphical system would really be a clone/rewrite. Although I am aware of no\nexact analogues on other systems, I suggest looking into Tasker (Android),\nAutoHotKey (Windows), and AppleScript (macOS). If you find something that works,\nlet me know and I'll consider adding it to this list.\n\nQ: Can I use keynav to scroll?  \nA: Yes! X11 represents mouse scrolling as key presses, so you just add the\nrelevant stanza to your keynavrc.  Mouse buttons are\n1=left, 2=middle, 3=right, 4=scroll-up, 5=scroll-down, 6=scroll-left, 7=scroll-right. So for example to scroll up with i and down with e:\n```\ni click 4,end\ne click 5,end\n```\nor to keep scrolling without having to re-invoke keynav, remove the end command from the bindings, like this:\n```\ni click 4\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjordansissel%2Fkeynav","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjordansissel%2Fkeynav","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjordansissel%2Fkeynav/lists"}
