Enter mouseboardHEADv0.1master

Keyboard-only pointing: a labelled grid over every monitor, type a
label to jump to a cell, bisect it by quadrant until the crosshair is
exact, then one key clicks. The coarse grid keeps labels short and
bisection keeps precision unlimited, so a hotkey and a few keystrokes
replace the mouse.

The core talks only to the backend interface in platform.h; wlroots
Wayland and Win32 backends supply the overlay, keyboard grab and
pointer.

+.SH NAME
+mouseboard \- keyboard-driven virtual pointer for Wayland
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B mouseboard
+.RI [ options ]
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B mouseboard
+draws a labelled grid over every monitor. Type a cell's label to warp the
+pointer there, refine the position by repeatedly bisecting the cell, then press
+a key to click. It performs one action and exits.
+.PP
+Wayland does not allow a client to grab a global hotkey, so bind
+.B mouseboard
+to a key inside your compositor. It requires a wlroots-based compositor that
+implements the
+.B wlr-layer-shell
+and
+.B wlr-virtual-pointer
+protocols.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-\-config " PATH"
+Read configuration from
+.IR PATH
+instead of the default
+.IR $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mouseboard/config .
+.TP
+.BI \-\-cell\-size " N"
+Target coarse-cell size in pixels (cols/rows are derived per monitor).
+.TP
+.BI \-\-cols " N" "\fR, \fP" \-\-rows " N"
+Use an explicit grid instead of
+.BR \-\-cell\-size .
+.TP
+.BI \-\-alphabet " STR"
+Characters used to build cell labels.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-opacity " N"
+Backdrop opacity, 0 to 100; 100 is a solid backdrop. Default 33.
+.TP
+.BI \-\-opacity\-fg " N"
+Opacity of the labels, grid and crosshair, 0 to 100. Default 65.
+.TP
+.B \-\-dry\-run
+Print "x y action" to standard output instead of moving or clicking.
+.TP
+.B \-\-selftest
+Run offline checks of the label, bisection and config logic, then exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-h ", " \-\-help
+Print usage and exit.
+.TP
+.BR \-V ", " \-\-version
+Print the version and exit.

+yet supported. Windows is covered by a native Win32 backend.
