About:
Sproutcube Shortcat is a macOS utility that enables comprehensive mouse-free navigation and interaction with the user interface. It allows users to control the cursor, click buttons, and interact with any on-screen element using only the keyboard. This tool significantly boosts productivity for power users by minimizing reliance on trackpads or mice.
Key Features:
  • Keyboard-driven cursor control
  • Rapid element targeting via search
  • Customizable keyboard shortcuts
  • System-wide integration
Use Cases:
  • Navigating complex UIs without leaving the keyboard
  • Accessibility assistance for motor impairments
  • Speeding up repetitive clicking tasks
Alternatives:
  • MouseKeys – Native macOS accessibility feature, less precise and slower than Shortcat
  • BetterTouchTool – Broader automation tool, includes mouse control but with a steeper learning curve
