One barrier I and many others find in efficiency while working on the computer is the time it takes between switching between keyboard and mouse. I find it much easier to keep my hands on my keyboard and use more shortcuts, so I wrote a simple intranet page that keep that in motion up to reaching outside websites. Below is a brief video, as well as the code shown below.
Please let me know what you think of this, how you may do it differently or what you would add- thank you for reading!
