It intends to become a full featured window organizer for OSX. ShiftIt is an application for OSX that allows you to quickly manipulate window position and size using keyboard shortcuts. You can use the ShiftIt Spoon which implements the ShiftIt functionality in Hammerspoon.Īdditionally there is a step-by-step guide to replicating ShiftIt's features using Hammerspoon yourself: About AlternativesĪ highly recommended alternative to ShiftIt that can be implemented using Hammerspoon. Until that transition is completed, there will likely not be further development on this project.
This project is looking for a new maintainer.
HAMMERSPOON ALTERNATIVES WINDOWS
the term "System Tray" is actually a misnomer- back in Windows 95, people noticed that if you ended the "SYSTRAY.EXE" task, the default icons like the volume control icon would disappear the logical conclusion made was that the program was in control of those icons, and the area was called the "System Tray".īut as it happens, "SYSTRAY.EXE" was actually named earlier in development of the Windows 95 shell, when it managed a search button and search textbox that sat next to the start menu.(Sounds familiar.) This was a little area you could organize icons and was similar to the desktop itself but could be moved around, and was called the "System Tray", but it was replaced with the now familiar Taskbar.Managing window size and position in OSX Looking for a new maintainer # 296. (in Windows I guess I'd put in the system tray)įun little side bar- the little area next to the clock is, and always has been, officially called the "Notification Area". I believe it has the capability to capture events like networks changing. It is typically used through powershell or VBScript. It sounds like WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) may be the nearest equivalent you are looking for. I wonder if I might've stumbled upon an open source project to undertake ) though it might be bigger than I have time for with my regular coding gig at this time. that looks like it also supplies some of the pieces. u/jantari mentioned AutoHotKey in another response.
Slate ( ) was an app that came before it that used Javascript to accomplish the same. Lua just happens to be the scripting language the developers chose. Sure you could do it without hammerspoon, hammerspoon just makes it easier with a consistent, and easily exposed API to everything. So instead of scheduling a task to run each minute to check what the wifi network is, when a wifi event happens the OS API that you're registered to triggers a call to your task. One benefit that hammerspoon brings is it bridges the gap between your scripts/tasks and operating system APIs.
Thanks for that helpful reply! I feel like you really got the gist of the question I was asking. I'd be interested to hear how you get on with this though. Whilst I suspect that these challenges exist in hammerspoon too it's been this barrier to entry that's kept me from trying to setup some of these automations that you are aiming to get to. Each can be navigated but in all probability you'd have to devise a different solution to each specific requirement, some you will be able to trigger neatly on an event, others will need some hackery to get it to operate, others still will need some third party element to get it to function as you need. Other taks that will have similar limitations. I can't think of any native mechanism (and a quick google hasn't helped) that will execute a script/process on connection to a wireless network, so you'd have to fall back on a regular schedule to run the above on a 1 minute schedule, or you would need a do.while loop to run this in the background constantly. The problem you have is how do you schedule that. Thanks to r/powershell for some of the above. Set-NetFirewallProfile -Profile Domain,Public,Private -Enabled $True IF($(netsh wlan show interfaces | Select-String '\sSSID') -ne $HomeNetwork) NET/C#, but (and I know nothing about LUA or Hammerspoon) I suspect it might be a step further into coding than using LUA and it will carry it's own difficulties.įor example checking for wifi SSID and enabling FW if it's not your home network : $HomeNetwork = "MyHomeWifi" Most of what you are asking for can be done natively in Powershell (and probably python/perl and maybe even bash if you are feeling adventurous), and certainly if you dip in to.
