thanks for this awesome little tool.

i'm using it only to replace the left mouse clicker with spacebar. this
is so i can edit 3,000+ pictures in gimp and still keep my index
finger :-)

one feature request i have is the ability to disable the grid with 'grid
0x0'. that's all, thanks again!

You don't need keynav for this. You can use xbindkeys and xdotool instead.

With the following in your ~/.xbindkeysrc:

"xdotool click 1"
KP_Space

should make pressing the space bar have the same effect as clicking button 1.

Alternatively you can use xmodmap, with Mousekeys turned on (shift + numlock):

$ xmodmap -e 'keycode 65 = Pointer_Button1'
... spacebar is equivalent to left click

$ xmodmap -e 'keycode 65 = KP_Space'

Good thing geocities.jp is still alive :)
