Video is only 6 minutes and 44 seconds long.

Project is called "Mouseless" and seems to be a keyboard mod.

I have been burned one too many time. I will not get accustomed to things that can be leveraged against me, thing that can backslide.

It’s not a keyboard mod, it’s Mac software that does something that’s already freely available and open source in Hammerspoon. I’ve seen that dude acting like his project is some crazy new thing, but he just ignored the already existing software that does his thing and much more.

Hammerspoon is open source macOS software that allows you to control your computer in pretty much any way you can imagine.

AutoHotKey is the standard for windows.

"look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power" meme but with Vim (or really this is a rare case where I have to hand it to emacs since it can basically run a whole OS)

Vim and emacs are the two most popular keyboard-driven text editors, and are something of a meme in the software world.

Really a better analogue would be tiling window managers like sway, i3, bspwm, dwm etc. but they're also harder to get started with.
