Good to know, that's what I was expecting. I'll have to give the Cat a spin! Also, thanks for this article and the Jef Raskin one - I thoroughly enjoyed them and their depth. I was…

Up and down arrow keys will cycle matches. At the moment the Accessibility API results are limited to the frontmost window; it's on my todo list to expand this to additional window…

In Superkey, all of the matches are highlighted yellow, and the selected one is highlighted green with a line to it from the text field. You can keep typing to narrow down the matc…

Not that I'm aware of, but I do have plans to at least bring some version of this to Windows at some point.

Without knowing about Jef Raskin's ideas, I implemented something really similar to one of them in one of my Mac apps, Superkey. This idea in the Canon Cat was that you hold down a…

Glad you like my software! A long time ago, I had some RSI issues that were alleviated by using the Magic Trackpad, and this led me to create the Multitouch app[0] to add a bit mor…

Good to know! I'm surprised that Magnet has any improvement over Rectangle in these areas, since Rectangle isn't really adding any overhead to the Accessibility API commands, but I…

Thanks for the feedback! I agree and have had some ideas for improving this - one of them being copy/paste and drag behavior where you could copy a selection in Rectangle Pro and p…

If you don't mind me asking, what are the warts? I'm always interested in improving the app.

I'm the developer behind Rectangle. There are a handful of features in Rectangle that aren't in Magnet, like being able to repeat shortcuts to achieve different sizes/positions, an…

Rectangle is a drop-in replacement for Spectacle, and provides an option upon first install to select the Spectacle default keyboard shortcuts. Note that Spectacle only included ke…

I was hoping to move over to Google Cloud Domains, too. Looks like Google Cloud Domains "is to be fully deprecated as part of this sale". https://twitter.com/GergelyOrosz/status/16…

Yes, there is an API for this in macOS, and I use it in two of my apps (multitouch.app and charmstone.app). The haptic feedback is really subtle though and it doesn't give the full…

I just happened to make a post about this today, too, in the form of a quick tutorial with Automator to turn the hidutil commands into an app that can be configured in launch on lo…

Thanks for trying it and for the feedback. Would you use it if you could set the keyboard shortcuts to mod+hjkl or something like that, rather than mod+arrow keys?

Charmstone [1] is a different take from everything mentioned here (I'm the developer). The idea is to use your spatial memory to switch/launch apps faster than anything else that I…

Thanks for the reply! For some reason I don't see rectanglemac as being suspended, but if it really is, then that would be great. Good to know that you've seen success going the re…
