I actually do plan, yes! There's so little concrete info on this subject on the internet, that I had to do a ton of trial and error to get fipple design right, tuning, choosing the right wood etc. I want to collect all my notes on th

Thank you, I'm really happy to read you find rcmd so useful ^_^ Also came from i3wm and missed it sorely until I finally settled on rcmd + single-space. Using multiple spaces on macOS is nowhere as easy as on i3.

Yep, Apple added a lot of options for configuring zooming. I went through all the Accessibility settings multiple times to find something that works for me. I used three-finger-double-tap for a while, but I really like three-finger-tap for

Author here, glad you like rcmd! About Raycast, I was a longtime fan of Alfred, and still bought version 5 and use it all the time for file search and navigation, as Raycast is severely lacking here. But I really like what Raycast has becom

You can mimic that in part with yabai ( https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai ). Disabling SIP gets you instant Space switching and creating without animation just like Pop_OS. But you can get very far to an automated til

Nope, you can do it in a single step. You can record a hotkey for any action that Raycast has, you don't need to go to the main UI: https://shots.panaitiu.com/y6cGQTLN I rarely if ever see that main search UI, I have h

Raycast's snippets mentioned in the article can do exactly that, screenshot here: https://shots.panaitiu.com/GmT5v4Zj It can do the incantation thingie, but it also allows binding a hotkey to showing a list of your sni

Author here, I use the native macOS replacements as well, mostly because they sync with iOS and they save me a lot of typing on iPhone and iPad. But Raycast works differently in that: - it has dynamic replacements (see the video where

Right, my mistake. I think I wanted to say "when the Mac App Store was in its infancy" but lost the meaning mid sentence. Even iOS was launched without an App Store in the first year.

No. You need to run code in the context of the process you want to full-screen, Hammerspoon can't do that. HS can only use the Accessibility API to modify some attributes of the windows.

Since Ventura 13.3, you can access those hidden resolutions yourself from System Settings by Option-clicking on a scaling option. Also, Lunar is mostly open-source and many apps borrowed code from it (even competitors). For example here is

Author here! I agree, I don’t like the “squeeze every drop” approach either, and I get to meet it daily from people asking for not-so-needed features from my apps. For me it wasn’t about wanting to use every single pixel. I just really pref

That is an ABL or Automatic Brightness Limiter and it’s one of the things that’s messing Lunar’s brightness Sync algorithm because the max brightness is constantly changing. It might be possible to disable from the monitor hidden service me

I maintain a database of monitors coming from Lunar users here: https://db.lunar.fyi It's not curated or anything like that because DDC can be affected by more than just the monitor itself (adapters/hubs/docks&#x2

Yes, that one is really good as well and I recommend it for more advanced use cases like setting manufacturer specific VCPs (e.g. E9 to 36 for PBP on Dells etc.) But most people ask me for a Lunar alternative which by that they mean a prett

Heh thanks ^_^ that is the effect I was looking to convey. You have to try it, it’s a really satisfying way of writing. Feels like handwriting but works 10 times faster with less hand cramping

Yep, completely agree with this. I wrote about how I created my blog workflow [1] so that I can write from my iPhone and easily publish notes. And it’s a lot of work that on Substack you get for free. Also I can’t say that I enjoyed tinkeri

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. The dot’s window level exceeds any user-available level so no app can draw something above the dot. The only thing that can appear above the dot is the cursor.

The file is used for storing layouts (show as icons/list/grid etc.) and various settings (sorting, grouping etc.). Storing a local file inside the directory allows for moving that directory around while also keeping those settings

I don't think there's any way to do that, the files are needed by Finder to store per-folder layouts and settings. You can however create a cronjob that deletes the files as often as you want, the operation takes 11 seconds on my
