One thing I love about Hammerspoon is the flexibility and power some of the modules like drawing and event spoofing give you. It allows really neat things like the tabs and hints modules (which I wrote) and lately I hacked together a module that lets me scroll pages hands-free using mouth noises (see https://github.com/trishume/thume.popclick https://github.com/trishume/thume.popclick if you want to test it before I try and PR it to Hammerspoon).
It's useful both for general window management as well as system hackery. It's the closest OS X users can get to the power of Linux.
- pavel_lishin 10y agoThis is really, really cool, but: > It has a very low false negative rate, but often has false positives. Seems like it would get triggered constantly around noises like A/C, or wind, or the inevitable coworker who quietly hisses behind you while you've got your headphones on. (It would be me. I would 100% be that coworker.)
- trishume 10y agoIt's only succeptible to some very specific false postives. But yes it is annoying (my roommate was having fun scrolling my computer from a distance today). The answer is that all the false positives I encounter are human-triggered so if you are alone and not doing anything else except reading, they aren't much of an issue. You can also buy super directional headsets that don't pick up anything else, even other people making the noises standing next to you. I have one and it works great, just not as convenient as the tiny mike on my earbuds.
