Amethyst VS hammerspoon

I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine

And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others.

I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

Amethyst is my tiling manager of choice for macOS: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/

It was a little buggy when Ventura dropped, but it gets frequent updates and has stabilized in the past few months.

This can be done through third party programs such as amethyst. It's not a native feature unless I am mistakened.

`cask "amethyst"` [link][oss] for `i3` like window management

> tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either.

iTerm2 on macOS has some nice tmux integration[1]. Basically, you run a tmux session (using tmux -CC), but the actual window management on the client side is handled by iTerm2. This works pretty nicely with the tiling WM (Amethyst[2]) I use on macOS.

If anybody is aware of Wayland compositors that integrate similarly, please let me know. I'd love to be able to do the same on my linux machines.

Another option for hacking something like this together could be HammerSpoon. I’ve spent some time with it, but haven’t tried integrating with Apple Notes, I mostly did stuff at the file system level to keep it easy.

For basic window tiling, I stumbled across Hammerspoon and the MiroWindowsManager spoon.

I use hammerspoon a lot and it seemed like scheduling SelfControl could be done using it so I created Hammer Control. Check it out!

Hammerspoon - Price: Free Desktop automation tool for macOS that allows you to write Lua scripts to control your Mac.

Assuming no one has a cut-and-dried solution that just works, would something like this be possible with say, AppleScript or another scripting tool like Hammerspoon? I've not used either of these tools before, but would be open to seeking out a scripting solution on my own if it's viable. Or am I going to run into insurmountable security restrictions?

Spark (not the email app). There are others like Hotkey and Hammerspoon.

I have tried different tools for this including Rectangle, but I've finally settled with hammerspoon. It solves the problem of window-management but you can also use it to create custom keyboard shortcuts and much more.
