Do you want to use Mastodon entirely through keyboard commands?

Here are some options:

-The standard Mastodon web interface includes lots of keyboard shortcuts, you can see them all by pressing the ? key while logged in (or by clicking on "Hotkeys" at the bottom left corner of the screen)

-There's a web-based minimalist client for Mastodon called Brutaldon, you can log into it with your existing Mastodon account at https://brutaldon.org. It supports text-based browsers such as Lynx.

-Toot is an app for Linux computers that lets you use Mastodon through a command line interface, more info at https://toot.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

(NOTE: "Toot" is nothing to do with the similarly-named "Toot!" Mastodon app for iPhone)
