What is TouchCursor?

TouchCursor lets you use the home keys as cursor keys – in all Windows programs – keeping your fingers in the best position for fast typing. Its free and open-source.

What does it do?

  • Lets you use the home keys as cursor navigation keys.
  • Works with all Windows applications (but lets you disable it on a per-application basis).
  • Uses the space bar like an extra Shift key for one-handed operation (but still lets you type spaces).
  • Runs automatically in the background.
  • Doesnt interfere with existing keyboard shortcuts.

What can you do with it?

  • Perform edits and navigate interfaces faster, with less hand movement.
  • Combine key presses with Shift, Ctrl and Alt, just like the normal cursor keys.
  • Configure the layout to your liking. E.g. you could emulate a vi or WordStar layout.
  • Give your desktop and laptop PCs the same cursor key layout.
  • Train yourself to use it with the built-in training mode.
