In this comment thread, for e.g., you can have your eyes target the [+] or [-] icons, and then click to expand/collapse those. If you had the "eye-track button" you move you eye to [+], tap button, and left click.

The main use case for me is jumping cursor close to some position while text editing. I'm a Vimmer and I typically just want to look somewhere and instantly move my cursor to where I'm looking sometimes. Easymotion style jumping is nice (I use it in fzf menus, for instance). But there's still that slight mental overhead of figuring out what I gotta type in to jump. Or if I use a mouse then I take hands off keyboard, move mouse, hands back on keyboard. Which sounds pretty simple but it's so slow compared to just jumping around in vim w/ hands always on keyboard.
