I use a combination of keyboard firmware(on one machine) and a similar tool(xremap). Mostly for: - turning my CapsLock into escape. As a vim user I use it all the time - when CapsLock is held it turns into a hyper key. Hyper+e to switch to Emacs window, hyper+b to browser and so on - creating application independent maps that work on Linux and MacOS: ctrl+w is always "kill last word", super+w to kill a tab or a window - invoking hammerspoon commands on MacOS that tile windows, bring up window switcher, etc.

Would you mind Sharing your hammerspoon Config? Are you tiling your windows similar to i3 or sway?

  Sure. Should be able to extract the relevant bits tomorrow. I tried some tiling WMs on MacOS(Amethyst?), but they never truly felt like tiling WMs on Linux. I could never reliably switch focus where I wanted it to go. This is not to disparage those projects; my config works well enough and I may not had given them a proper chance. My tiling is manual and closer to Windows snap feature mixed with Power Toys zones.

    Fwiw I'm somewhat happy combining AutoRaise for focus-follows-mouse and rectangle for tiling. It's not as good as a dedicated tiling wm on Linux - but it's less terrible than MacOs' mouse/touchpad chauvinism. https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise https://github.com/sbmpost/AutoRaise https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

      On Linux I often use mouse follows focus. I switch to a webbrowser and have a reasonable guess where the cursor is. IIRC that was a pain with Amethyst and my hammerspoon config. Have you set up something like this?
      - e12e 2y ago
        No, I've not found anything that gives workable mouse follow focus. But I've not looked very hard.

    I am finally settled on aerospace.app which is close enough to i3 for me. Now hammerspoon for some Automation :)

  Found a config that seems much cleaner than my lua mess and at a glance it has the key tiling functions[1]. Check set-window-fraction function and its callsites. [1]: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/main/HOME/.hammerspoon/init.fnl https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/main/HOME/.hammerspoon/ini...
