HopTab – Open source macOS app switcher and tiler that replaces Cmd+Tab

they are supported under the hood but the UI for creating them isnt built yet but its on the roadmap.I'll prioritize it (:

thanks for the kind words and I might create a discord server for the support but I havent really thought about it.

I think there is too much customization and options. Maybe having a .*aml/json file would be good.

I have a few hammerspoon customization for me to choose and open the applications I have. I put those on different desktop but use this to open applications. Whereas for the tiling itself use either aerospace or Loop.

Here is the hammerspoon code for opening the apps using keyboard more like vim jump options.

```

----show all windows of the clicked application

local function showAppWindows(window) local app = window:application() local appWindows = app:allWindows() if #appWindows > 1 then hs.hints.windowHints(appWindows, function(selectedWindow) selectedWindow:focus() local frame = selectedWindow:frame() hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 }) end) else window:focus() local frame = window:frame() hs.mouse.setAbsolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 }) end end

hs.hotkey.bind({ "cmd", "ctrl", "alt", "shift" }, "p", function() hs.hints.windowHints(nil, showAppWindows) end)

----window search modal

local function createWindowSearchModal() local allWindows = hs.window.allWindows() local windowChoices = {}

    for i, window in ipairs(allWindows) do
        if window:title() and window:title() ~= "" then
            local app = window:application()
            local appName = app and app:name() or "Unknown"
            table.insert(windowChoices, {
                text = appName .. " - " .. window:title(),
                subText = "Window " .. i,
                window = window,
                id = i
            })
        end
    end

    local chooser = hs.chooser.new(function(choice)
        if choice and choice.window then
            choice.window:focus()
            local frame = choice.window:frame()
            hs.mouse.absolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 })
        end
    end)

    chooser:choices(windowChoices)
    chooser:searchSubText(true)
    chooser:show()

end

hs.hotkey.bind({ "cmd", "ctrl", "alt", "shift" }, "o", function() createWindowSearchModal() end)

---- window search modal for active application only

local function createActiveAppWindowSearchModal()

local frontmostApp = hs.application.frontmostApplication() if not frontmostApp then hs.alert.show("No active application detected") return end local appWindows = frontmostApp:allWindows() local windowChoices = {} for i, window in ipairs(appWindows) do if window:title() and window:title() ~= "" then table.insert(windowChoices, { text = window:title(), subText = "Window " .. i, window = window, id = i }) end end if #windowChoices == 0 then hs.alert.show("No windows found for active application") return end local chooser = hs.chooser.new(function(choice) if choice and choice.window then choice.window:focus() local frame = choice.window:frame() hs.mouse.absolutePosition({ x = frame.x + frame.w / 2, y = frame.y + frame.h / 2 }) end end) chooser:choices(windowChoices) chooser:searchSubText(true) chooser:show() end

hs.hotkey.bind({ "cmd" }, "1", function() createActiveAppWindowSearchModal() end) ```

not fully yet but what you can do today is create separate profiles for each Space (ide+browser on one, Fork+server on another,music on a third) and they auto switch as you swipe between desktops. So the per Space part works but what's missing is the "group" bit there's no way to say "these 3 profiles are all part of my Coding workspace, activate them all at once." That's exactly where I want to take this though. The building blocks are mostly there, just need that workspace layer on top. The display switching thing with snapshotting per display config so laptop only vs docked setups just work is a bit PITA to build but I am working on it

It's absolutely terrible. Want to get one of your terminals and one of your vs code windows next to each other to check something visually? Can't do it. CMD-tab brings ALL of your terminal windows to the front, or ALL of your vs code windows :/

I still can't understand who ever thought this was a good idea...
