i3-gnome VS hammerspoon

I have not tried it since > Gnome 41 as I was mainly at home the last months, but I used this package in the past https://github.com/i3-gnome/i3-gnome

Install i3 on PopOS

Running F35 with i3wm + i3-gnome (https://github.com/i3-gnome/i3-gnome) -

I would also highly recommend i3 + i3-gnome combination [1]. It adds a lot of gnome features out of box to i3, like sound control, notifications, etc.

Remove/change all the gnome hotkeys/shortcuts using dconf-editor so I can use Gnome environment like i3. I do enjoy the ease of plug and play-ablity of gnome against i3. But I just...don't like the environment. I have checked i3-gnome. It makes the HDMI output stop working.

Hmm, sounds a bit like you'd want i3-gnome, which states it has support for gnome 40, though my guess is that this will give you Gnome DE with i3 instead of Mutter being the only difference, so no polybar.

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.
