[feature request] command line app #25
Comments
+1, I'd love this and am willing to sponsor this feature |
Hello, I had a need for a command line utility as well so I grabbed the WhichSpace function that queries the spaces info and wrapped it in a command line swift app. You can find it here: https://github.com/davidpurnell/SpaceInfo |
Cheers! Starred, will give it a spin I discovered / was using https://github.com/alt-jero/McSpaces in the meantime, it works fine, but bit of a raw one. |
Ah, McSpaces is giving UUIDs. My version outputs integers incremented from 1. I'm using it in some Keyboard Maestro macros so my use case required simple numbering of spaces. Hope that works for you! |
If you guys don’t mind sharing, what kinds of things are you using this for? KM macros sound interesting. |
I have several KM macros that move windows around between multiple displays and spaces. These macros need to know what current space and/or display index the frontmost window is located on. Just trying to keep my hands on the keyboard and off the mouse as much as possible... If you want to take a look at my macros, they are here: github.com/davidpurnell/km-macros |
@davidpurnell, SpaceInfo looks cool. You may know this already, but if WhichSpace is running, you can get the current space with AppleScript: tell application "System Events" to tell process "WhichSpace" to set temp to (title of menu bar items of menu bar 1)
return item 1 of temp I'm going to check out your macros on GitHub. Have you shared them on the KM Forum? If not consider doing so. It's a great place to share KM ideas. I've also developed a set of KM macros to manage spaces; there are on the forum: Desktop Spaces • Macros for Navigation and Window Management |
Yep. I used to query Whichspace this way to get the current space index and then used that in earlier versions of my KM macros. Pretty sure I've seen some of your macros on the forum. I'm a lurker there but perhaps it's time to start posting! |
is it possible to make is a command line app to print the current space?
