If you take the idea of ditching the cursor altogether you get [cursor
less](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=pokey.cursor
less).

Its primary users are voice coders (like me part time), but I think
the idea of ditching the cursor can be useful for both voice and hand
input users.

I have a project waiting for me in order to re-implement a simpler
emacsy version of this using word/paragraph/thing-at-point that would
basically extend avy to not prompt for a target or allow for multiple
actions first.

Maybe a transient or Hydra would be better though.

Do you really want to navigate, or do you want to do?

Food for thought I suppose.

I think the general concept here is powerful, but for this specific
problem it might be worth it in the long run to get display-buffer-
alist to display note links you navigate to as you would do manually.

Very interesting. I hadn't thought about using custom actions like
this.
