Example:
hs.loadSpoon('Split')
hs.hotkey.bind({"cmd", "alt"}, "s", function() spoon.Split.split() end)I work on a laptop monitor a lot, and even at my nice setup at my desk I try to keep my main monitor on a single app. One app, one task, single focus.
There is one use case where I'll commonly have two windows open… one to work on, the other for reference. Sometimes it's Dash.app, some other reference material, or a ticket.
The process usually goes like this.
- Be me, full screened on my work.
- Realize I need some reference material.
- Go find that material, open it up full screen.
- Flip back and forth (efficiently using hyper.lua!) a few times before realizing that I need them both at the same time.
- Switch to my work, enter move mode, move it to the left. (
HYPER+m, h) - Switch to my reference, enter move mode, move it to the right. (
HYPER+m, l)
Realizing just how common this particular use case is, and inspired by how easy it is to split a screen in vim using fzf.vim, I wrote a function to make my life easier.
Here's what it looks like in action.
Hitting HYPER+m allows me to enter my window movement modal. It is sort of a leader key... I then hit `v` to enter my split window chooser, then I choose the window I want alongside my "work" window and everything is ready to go!
It even maintains the focus on my work. I can just keep typing.
