# Chelleport
-Control your mouse pointer with your keyboard
+Control your mouse pointer entirely with your keyboard.
-> Note: So far it only supports Linux running X11 display server with a compositor, because that's what I use. Might look into supporting more systems if there is interest.

+## Modes
+- **Labelled Hints mode (default. `ctrl+h`)**: Displays a grid overlay on your screen, where each cell is labeled with a unique two-key combination. Press the corresponding keys to move the cursor to the desired cell.
+- **Text Search mode (`ctrl+s`)**: Uses OCR to identify and highlight words on the screen, allowing you to search for text and move the cursor directly to matching text.

## Features
-- **Text search mode**: Pressing `<c-s>` puts you in search mode which uses OCR to find words on the screen that you can search and move your cursor to.
-- **Labelled hints mode**: This is the default mode. It shows a grid on the screen with 2 keys for each cell. You can move to any cell by pressing the keys shown.
-- **Click**: Pressing `space` left clicks at current mouse position. Holding `shift` key left clicks and show the grid again.
-- **Select text/Drag-n-drop**: Pressing `Ctrl+V` starts dragging/selecting/holding down left mouse button. Press `space` to stop dragging. Or press `Ctrl+V` again to stop dragging and show the grid again.
-- **Double click**: Pressing `2` followed by `space` will click twice. Any digit key followed by `space` will click that many times.
-- **Right click**: Pressing `minus` key right clicks at current mouse position. Holding `shift` key right clicks and shows the grid again.
-- **Granular movement**: Once you match with a label on the screen, you can use `hjkl` keys to move your cursor. Holding `shift` key will use bigger steps for movements. You can also repeat movement by pressing a digit before the movement. Eg: `5k` moves 5 small steps up. `5K` moves 5 big steps up.
