I found this way easier to configure than Slate.app was. Its API and docs are much simpler. And it has support for CoffeeScript or any other JS languages. I haven't figured out how to get ClojureScript working with it though, but that would rock.

  That project has different goals. Zephyros is about complete configurability, using only scripting.

I've been using slate for a while and enjoying it, this looks pretty similar and I will definitely be giving it a try. am I wrong or is there still no wm for OSX that does auto tiling and layout like aeesomewm or stumpwm do? I've got a 'close enough' setup with slate that has been working but I still miss the awesomeness of awesome when I'm working in OS X.

  It's an inherent limitation for OS X. The closest you can get is using app-launched and window-opened events to move them yourself. You can do that in either Slate or Zephyros but I think it's easier in Zeph.

    Does that have scripting capability?
    - autodidakto 13y ago
      Not in the same way. It's written in the author's experimental objc based scripting language.

This looks great! The wiki has some good starter configurations, based on other apps' defaults: https://github.com/evanescence/zephyros/wiki https://github.com/evanescence/zephyros/wiki Anyone know if there's a way to move apps between spaces? This is something that I've been missing in all the tools I've tried so far.

  It's basically impossible in Mac OS X. The closest you can get involves some hackery that I'm really not comfortable with.
