A solid backbone for your .slate.js.
- Concise configuration.
- Extensibility - it wraps the Screen, Window, and Rect objects into proxy classes. You can extend these classes pretty easily using JavaScript prototypes.
- Many convenience methods:
- Reslate will take most object types in a binding and make sense of them.
- Nested object syntax for binding hotkeys (reduces need for repetition - see
slate.bindAll
inslate.example.js
). - Array syntax will do a
slate.chain
for you. - Strings automatically map to slate's "operation" objects.
- Works around some issues in Slate:
- It's harder to lose a window offscreen.
- Some useless popups are silenced.
- When you hit an exception, you're provided with a full traceback if possible (see them in Console.app). You can also use $.backtrace to generate one yourself.
- The $ object ( https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate/blob/master/reslate.js#L36 )
You should compare the reslate example config with Slate's example JS config.

Do you have Slate? Get Slate.
-
git clone https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate.git
somewhere convenient. -
ln -s "$(pwd)"/reslate.js ~/.reslate.js
(Run this in Terminal / bash inside the repo). -
S.src('.reslate.js');
from.slate.js
to use this if you're a Slate veteran.If you're new to Slate, copy my
slate.example.js
to~/.slate.js
instead. -
Either way, look at
slate.example.js
for a full configuration. -
Reslate has a high ratio of comments to code. Dive into
reslate.js
and hack away.
Your desktop has never looked better.
You should probably set up a Hyper key if you plan on using Slate and your computer at the same time.
Using PCKeyboardHack and KeyRemap4Macbook to create a Hyper key.
I recommend modifying your private.xml
to only map Hyper to ctrl+alt+cmd
(and not shift
).
This allows you to bind both hyper
and hyper+shift
as modifiers.
