Two Stack WM

This Spoon of Hammerspoon is a minimum, tiling window manager simplifies your window management by only allowing windows tiling in 2 areas:

1. Main
2. Side

The Main area is a larger portion at the right-hand side of a screen, while Side area takes the rest of left-hand side of a screen.

It is as if each of each of the Main and Side areas contains their own stack of windows, and only the top-most can bee seen. Hence the name.

Windows may be placed in either of Main or Side, or as a conventional goodie, maximized.

Synopsis

To use TwoStackWM, load it inside ~/.hammerspoon/init.lua, then bind sensible hotkeys to the functions provided like so:

hs.loadSpoon("TwoStackWM")

local hyper = {"ctrl", "alt", "shift"}

-- hyper-m: Move current focused window to the top of Main area
hs.hotkey.bind(
    hyper,
    "m",
    function ()
        spoon.TwoStackWM:moveFocusedWindowToMainStack()
    end
)

-- hyper-s: Move current focused window to the top of Side area
hs.hotkey.bind(
    hyper,
    "s",
    function ()
        spoon.TwoStackWM.moveFocusedWindowToSideStack()
    end
)

-- hyper-f: Maximize current focused window
hs.hotkey.bind(
    hyper,
    "f",
    function ()
        spoon.TwoStackWM.maximizeFocusedWindow()
    end
)

-- hyper-return: Toogle current focused window between Main/Side.
hs.hotkey.bind(
    hyper,
    "return",
    function ()
        spoon.TwoStackWM:toggleFocusedWindowToMainOrSide()
    end
)

-- hyper-n: If you use multiple monitors, you may want to move windows to different monitors.
hs.hotkey.bind(hyper, "n", function () spoon.TwoStackWM.moveFocusedWindowToNextScreen() end)
