keyflare 1.0.4

Control your mouse with your keyboard through KeyFlare

KeyFlare

About

Some users prefer using a keyboard over a mouse because of accessibility needs or personal reasons. KeyFlare enables users to interactively control their mouse using their keyboard. Showcases available on my website. KeyFlare is open source, free, and both easy to understand and install.

Installation

Suggested:

pip install keyflare
keyflare

Alternatively:

• Use git clone https://github.com/Pshah2023/keyflare.git to install the source code
• Optional: create a virtual environment with python -m venv env and activate it as per your system
• Install dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
• Go to the KeyFlare root directory and run python keyflare, which will run the code in __main__.py automatically.

Inspiration

Vimium C, a common tool for users with accessibility needs for navigating web browsers, does not work on web browsers. Apple Voice Control's smart grid, a tool for navigating on Apple displays, does not work outside of an iPhone and would not be effective on large displays. There was no tool available for this, so I decided to make it.

Features

• Intuitive Hotkey: (Left Alt) + (Lowercase A)
• Intuitive Process: KeyFlare simply opens up a fullscreen image to show you the options on the screen.
• Enhanced image segmentation algorithm that optimizes speed.
• Cross-platform compatibility with Linux, macOS, and Windows. (Untested on macOS since I do not have access to that environment at the moment.)

In the works

• Specifying the number of clicks desired through preferences.
• Making it easier to use KeyFlare through imports by improving the documentation.
