new ( function ( choice ) if not choice then focusLastFocused () return end hs. On selection, copy the emoji and type it into the focused application. sortByFocusedLast ) if # lastFocused > 0 then lastFocused : focus () end end - Create the chooser. local function focusLastFocused () local wf = hs. Pass hammerspoon variable into AppleScript and variable from inside AppleScript out to Hammerspoon. Get the bundle ID of the app, and only if its Google Chrome block CMD+F and remap CMD+N. The trick is to check which is the frontmost (active) application while doing so. Detect when CMD+N is pressed and create key events to simulate CMD+F. Detect when CMD+F is pressed and return true to block it. local choices = ) end - Focus the last used window. Setup an event tap for the key down event. Build the list of emojis to be displayed. We’ll populate it with emojis once selected, the emoji will be copied to clipboard and “typed” in the focused application.Ĭopy and paste the following snippet in your a file: To do so we’ll use hs.chooser, an Hammerspoon extension that creates a Spotlight-like window that allows filtering and selecting data. Now, we’ll use Hammerspoon to load the emojis and build the search engine. It has been generated by using the utility you can find here.

The archive contains a few thousands PNG images depicting the emojis and a JSON file encoding their details.

Lately, I’ve been using the awesome Hammerspoon to automate some of the aspects of macOS.Īs an example of its potential, we’ll now see how to create an interactive emoji search-engine, that will allow us to search, select and paste emojis by using their name or a few keywords.Īs a result, we’ll get something like this:īefore we begin, download this archive and unzip into your ~/.hammerspoon directory. Is there anything out there for me that can play nicely with a DE (no preference as to which)? I've seen stuff like Qtile but there doesn't seem to be a good way to switch between windows. I'd still prefer something closer to Hammerspoon but the closest I could find was Subtle but it seems that its not being developed and I'd still have to set everything up similarly to i3. However it's taking me too much time to set up (I've already wasted too much time testing out various distros, DEs, etc) and I have a lot of work to do. I've played around with i3 and though it lacks a lot of features I miss, it makes up for it with some other features I like (mostly tab stacking).

I liked this setup because I can change the ratio of window sizes easily, overlap tiles, still easily switch to programs that wouldn't tile nicely and everything was still totally usable with a mouse.

In order to change between windows I use Mod+Space to open up Pentadactyl/Vimperator-style hints for all windows, including ones hidden by others ( Pic, but in the latest version you can set hints to be the first letter of the app rather than random). I use Mod+WASD to move the currently selected window in that direction, and Mod+HJKL to resize windows. My setup was essentially a 9 column 2 row grid (I can change these numbers with hotkeys but I pretty much always leave them at 9 and 2). Ive been playing around with using Hammerspoon to modify my interaction layer in OSX to enhance efficiency while. Over the years, it has completely changed how I do a couple small but important tasks. I've been developing in OS X for a while now and I've become very attached to Hammerspoon ( ), but a couple of days ago I decided to switch to Linux. Hammerspoon boasts two things: a truly epic project name and a lua scripting environment that hooks into extensions that allow you to control system functionality in macOS.
