I use it to hide Zoom's screen sharing controls so they don't come back when pressing Esc:

    -- Hide Zoom's "share" windows so it doesn't come back on ESC keypress
    local zoomWindow = nil
    local originalFrame = nil
    
    hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "ctrl", "alt"}, "H", function()
      print("> trying to hide zoom")
      if not zoomWindow then
        print(">  looking for window")
        zoomWindow = hs.window.find("zoom share statusbar window")
      end
    
      if zoomWindow then
        print(">  found window")
        if originalFrame then
          print(">    restoring")
          zoomWindow:setFrame(originalFrame)
          originalFrame = nil
          zoomWindow = nil
        else
          print(">    hiding")
          originalFrame = zoomWindow:frame()
          local screen = zoomWindow:screen()
          local frame = zoomWindow:frame()
          frame.x = screen:frame().w + 99000
          frame.y = screen:frame().h + 99000
          zoomWindow:setFrame(frame)
        end
      else
        print(">  window not found")
      end
    end)

I use this to remap app keys:

    local appHotkeys = {}

    local function remapAppHotkey(appName, fromMods, fromKey, toMods, toKey, delay)
        if not appHotkeys[appName] then
            appHotkeys[appName] = {}
        end
        local hotkey = hs.hotkey.new(fromMods, fromKey, function()
            hs.eventtap.keyStroke(toMods, toKey, delay or 0)
        end)
        table.insert(appHotkeys[appName], hotkey)
    end
    
    local appWatcher = hs.application.watcher.new(function(appName, eventType)
        local hotkeys = appHotkeys[appName]
        if not hotkeys then return end
        for _, hotkey in ipairs(hotkeys) do
            if eventType == hs.application.watcher.activated then
                hotkey:enable()
            elseif eventType == hs.application.watcher.deactivated then
                hotkey:disable()
            end
        end
    end)
    
    appWatcher:start()

    -- Remap app hotkeys
    remapAppHotkey("Finder", { "cmd" }, "q", { "cmd" }, "w", 0.5)
    ... etc ...

Has anyone worked on making a config replicating aerospace? Hammerspoon seems like a superset and it’s probably better to just have one, instead of two tools warring about who gets the keypresses?

What features are you trying to replicate from Aerospace?

Well, a tiling window and workspace manager. But as I am typing this, I’m realizing they hammerspoon can probably do some of the window placement, but maybe not handling workspaces and global state.

I was hoping I could be lazy and ask, and a not-lazy person could give a ready made answer :)

I use it to enable/disable the wifi when I disconnec/connect the macbook to a specific usb hub with ethernet connection:

  local usbWatcher = hs.usb.watcher.new(function(device)
    if device.productName == "EMEET SmartCam C960" then
      if device.eventType == "added" then
        hs.execute("networksetup -setairportpower en0 off")
        hs.notify.new({title="Wi-Fi", informativeText="Disabled (USB device connected)"}):send()
      elseif device.eventType == "removed" then
        hs.execute("networksetup -setairportpower en0 on")
        hs.notify.new({title="Wi-Fi", informativeText="Re-enabled (USB device removed)"}):send()
      end
    end
  end)
  usbWatcher:start()

I'd love to have a global "toggle Teams mute" button.

```

hs.loadSpoon("MicMute")

binding = { toggle = { {"ctrl", "alt"}, "m" } }

spoon.MicMute:bindHotkeys(binding)

```

You'll have to add the MicMute spoon which just mean downloading the zip here, unzipping, and opening the .spoon. https://www.hammerspoon.org/Spoons/MicMute.html

here is my entire config hs.hotkey.bind({"ctrl"}, "D", function() hs.grid.show() end) i've tried all of the other fancy window managers and for me nothing has ever beat the ease of use of just (1) ctrl-d to see the grid, (2) type the letter where you want the top left corner of your window to be, (3) type the letter where you want the bottom right corner to be window resized

I fake a tiling window manager on Mac with Hammerspoon, resizing to fit in specific corners/sizes: -- resize based on ratios function ratioResize(xr, yr, wr, hr) return function () local win = hs.window.focusedWindow() win:moveToUnit({x=xr,y=yr,w=wr,h=hr}) end end -- 4 corners, different sizes hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "ctrl"}, "w", ratioResize(0, 0, 2/5, 2/3)) hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "ctrl"}, "e", ratioResize(2/5, 0, 3/…

I highly recommend Aerospace[1], went through a few approaches, I cared about not completely compromising security either, it works really well if you come from something like i3
