What is Shortcat?
Click with the keyboard
Shortcat is a unique application that enables you to click without using the mouse! Shortcat is particularly suited to fast typists. You simply activate Shortcat with a keyboard shortcut, type a few letters that match the UI element you want to click on, and Shortcat will search the current active window (and menu bar) for matching elements. Simply hit 'Return' to click on the desired element!
Works with most apps
Shortcat leverages the Accessibility API, which is supported by all applications that come with Mac OS X and most applications! Finder, Safari, Xcode, Textual, Skype, Calendar and more are supported. Shortcat is constantly being updated to work better with more applications!
Be more productive
It takes an average of three seconds to move your hand from the keyboard to the mouse, clicking once, and then moving back to the keybord. Shortcat lets you keep your hands on the keyboard to click, saving time and energy. Imagine all the time you could save!

Comments and Reviews
As somebody with shoulder and wrist issues, Shortcat has been life-changing. I have used a Mac for work for about 8 years, but would never use it for personal use...but now I just might make the switch, strictly and solely for this one app. I cannot overstate its value to someone like me.
Being able to drive macOS entirely with the keyboard!
This is the missing link in being able to navigate my Mac entirely using the keyboard. Right now it's a bit slow if I ask it to enumerate all the clickable items on my screen, especially perhaps since I have 16 items in my System Tray, but I expect it will get faster.
I don't know of any alternatives for this software. Are there any that work on Windows?
