## Description

WASD Navigator is a keyboard-only accessibility and productivity tool that lets you browse the web using standard WASD keys.
  Choose between two navigation modes and customize every shortcut to fit your workflow.

• Virtual Cursor Mode: Control a highly customizable on-screen virtual cursor.
  • Spatial Navigation Mode: Instantly hop your focus between links, buttons, and input fields in any direction for fast, structured browsing. Screw the Tab Key.
  • Built-in Smooth Scrolling: Use the same navigation keys to scroll webpages smoothly when no target is focused or when the cursor hits screen boundaries.
  • Typing Protection: Intelligently detects when you click into input fields or text boxes, automatically pausing navigation keys so you can type normally. Press  Escape  to resume navigating.
  • Custom Context Menu: Right-click simulation that opens a clean, keyboard-accessible context menu offering quick options like Open in New Tab, Save Image As, Copy Link, and Scroll to Top/Bottom.
  • Fully Remappable Keybindings: Bind every action to any keys of your choosing.
