discrete-scroll VS hammerspoon

DiscreteScroll - Very basic, just removes the acceleration, doesn’t smooth scrolling. No GUI, click and run and forget about it. add it to “Open at login” to never worry about enabling it.

Discrete-Scroll solved this issue for me. I did have to download XCode and build the project to make it native M1. But I had never used XCode before and it was still pretty easy, I just bumbled around until I found the "Build" button and then the button that let me install the app I just made. It works perfectly and fixes what is admittedly a minor issue.

DiscreteScroll This is the most bare-bones and just fixes the annoying acceleration-based scrolling-model in macOS and replaces it with a more windows-like velocity-based scrolling-model. Both MOS and Mac Mouse Fix also do this. This one is just super minimal and unobtrusive. You do need to run it every time you login, but its super minimal and lightweight. There’s no GUI, so you open it and it just does its thing in the background. You close it in Activity Monitor. I use this still because Mos and Mac Mouse Fix dont fix gaming in macOS. Minecraft doesn’t move selected spaces in the hot bar with each scroll-click with either. DiscreteScroll fixes this.

for the occasional game where you want each “click” from the scroll-wheel to be precise, there’s DiscreteScroll

You can try Discrete Scroll. I found it here.

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.
