#ABLETON LIVE AND HAMMERSPOON WINDOWS#

Inspired by Seth Messer's config, I wrote a simplified a system. If I have two screens, I want work right in front of me, and distraction/calendaring applications off to the side.

If I'm on one screen, I want everything full screened, and I switch between them using hyper shortcuts.

Autolayout on docking or undocking the laptopĪfter using my basic keys for moving windows around, I realized the main use case for me was setting up my windows on my two monitors after docking my laptop. It's a very small thing, but it brings me a lot of joy. I use this more than I thought I would, it turned out that most of my window moving was simply to bring two things close together for comparison or reference. Hold ⎇ for 70/30.' ) : searchSubText ( true ) : choices ( windows ) : show () movewindows : exit () while it's not terribly complex, it's a good example of the powerful tools Hammerspoon gives you to build your own automations.įirst we set up the modal and bind it to our old friend Hyper.Ĭhooser : placeholderText ( 'Choose window for 50/50 split. I then hit `v` to enter my split window chooser, then I choose the window I want alongside my 'work' window and everything is ready to go! Hitting HYPER+m allows me to enter my window movement modal. Realizing just how common this particular use case is, and inspired by how easy it is to split a screen in vim using fzf.vim, I wrote a function to make my life easier.

Switch to my reference, enter move mode, move it to the right.

Switch to my work, enter move mode, move it to the left.

Flip back and forth (efficiently using a!) a few times before realizing that I need them both at the same time.

Go find that material, open it up full screen.

Realize I need some reference material.

Sometimes it's Dash.app, some other reference material, or a ticket. There is one use case where I'll commonly have two windows open… one to work on, the other for reference. I work on a laptop monitor a lot, and even at my nice setup at my desk I try to keep my main monitor on a single app. While much of a is very simple, there are two automations that I'm proud of. In my configuration, a isn't very complex or interesting, and a lot of it was written originally by Tom Miller. I used to think multitasking was a super power of mine, now I think it's my kryptonite. While ten years ago I would have leapt for the tiling options 1 (I still would like to give i3wm a go one of these days!) I have been making an effort to only have one application in view at any given time.

There is a lot of awesome Hammerspoon code to help you with that, from clones of popular Mac applications like Spectacle to complex tiling systems. The following snippet allows me to type that text with a combo of shortcuts, without using any additional applications.One of the main things people do with Hammerspoon is wrangle their window layouts. bind (, 'R', addReminder )Īs a Javascript developer who is not good at debugging, I spent 10% of my coding time typing console.log. appFromName ( name ): activate () end end end - quick open applications hs. launchOrFocus ( name ) if name = 'Finder' then hs. Here is my simple solution with Hammerspoon:įunction open ( name ) return function () hs. But Bettertools involves a lot of unnecessary feaetures, and PowerPack is expensive. Before I discovered Hammerspoon, I have tried Bettertools and Alfred (with PowerPack) to do that. Opening an application by holding two keys in the keyboard, is something I’ve used for year since I used Windows. My recipes of ~/.hammerspoon/a Open application with alt + X I think it should be a very simple helper tool for developers. I don’t have too many requirements from Hammerspoon. hammerspoon, even though it seems more intuitive. I don’t want to setup some sort of git repo for. I intend not to use it since I want to just copy and paste my configuration file text from Github. I will list some of my most useful features when I use Hammerspoon in this post.įirst of all, even though Lua has a very simple module manage system. That’s why I use Hammerspoon – a perfect solution for macOS automation. As a programmer, it’s easy to get frustrated when I have to switch from mouse and keyboard.
