slate

Thanks for posting these. I really like jigish's Slate[1] for this (maybe I'm just too lazy to switch) but sadly it's not being maintained, and I just noticed that neither is mattr-'s fork[2] as of this month. [1] https://github.com/jigish/slate [2] https://github.com/mattr-/slate

Slate is my favorite as well - there's a fork that accumulated a bunch of patches over the years as the original author appears to have abandoned it: https://github.com/mattr-/slate Unfortunately, it was declared unmaintained as of a few days ago...

what is the difference with slate [1]? [1] https://github.com/mattr-/slate

It's not longer being worked on, and forked at https://github.com/mattr-/slate But honestly I switched to Hammerspoon and with some searching/learning lua/copy-pasting have the same functionality, and it's even more extendable. If you can describe what you want to do with the windows/current app/whatever, you can probably write it in lua.

I migrated from Slate [1] to Hammerspoon during a reinstall without any regrets so far. I've also noticed the things I always wanted to do with ControlPlane [2] are perfectly doable with Hammerspoon, if you put some time into reading the docs and api (they are really good). (Basically switching bluetooth on/off when I connect my keyboard, and quiting networking apps when I switch off WiFi without a cable connected, like droplr, dropbox...) The most powerful thing about Hammerspoon seems that you build your .hammerspoon/init.lua with time, and as things tend to frustrate you more often, you put time into looking up how to optimise things by writing lua, oh and there's a console/repl, yay! A bit like my .vimrc really. Btw, I use a Hyper-key that is mapped using karabiner [3], here's my private.xml [4] 1. https://github.com/mattr-/slate 2. h

The original jigish/slate project hasn't been updated since Feb 2013. The mattr-/slate fork has been solid for me since 10.9+ and is maintained regularly: https://github.com/mattr-/slate
