Hacking the Mountain Lion version

Adding new keywords

All keywords are defined in the the "layout_select.py" file in this section:

layouts = [
    Layout("togglefullscreen", "Toggle full screen mode", "togglefullscreen"),
    Layout("full", "Full", "0,0,1,1"),
    Layout("left", "Left", "0,0,0.5,1"),
    Layout("top", "Top", "0,0,1,0.5"),
...

You can add any keyword you like by extending this list by another "Layout" object

Layout(<id as it should be typed>, <displayed text>, <parameter passed to layouter>)

The parameters of the layouter are described in the final section below.

Adding hotkeys

Just bind the parameters of the you like to a hotkey and pass them directly to the layouter.

The workflow already contains an example that could be used as template.

Parameters of the layouter

The layouter takes four comma-separated coordinates where the current window should be placed: <left>,<top>,<right>,<bottom>

The coordinates are relative to the available screen size, i.e. each value is between 0 and 1, where (0,0) is top-left and (1,1) bottom-right of the screen.

Examples:

• 0,0,0.5,1 = Left side of screen
• 0.1,0.1,0.9,0.9 = Center of screen with 10% border
• 0.5,0,1,0.5 = Top-right quarter of screen
