fusuma has been written in MacRuby, and who doesn't like Ruby? there are no nibs/xibs, no compiled binaries or anything else you get when you make a regular OSX project with Apple's tools.
- keep track of unique windows and applications
- position and resize any window
- activate and set focus to any window
- automatically tile and organize your windows based on the configured layout's rules
- assign global hot keys for any of the above actions
- remove window decorations from another application
example configuration 'configuration.json':
{
"layouts": [ # layouts are matched to active displays
"small_workspace", # primary monitor
"large_workspace" # secondary monitor
],
"keymap": { # keymap actions reference methods in keymap.rb
"set_main_window": "RETURN+COMMAND+SHIFT",
"activate_window_1": "1+COMMAND+SHIFT",
"activate_window_2": "2+COMMAND+SHIFT,
"swap_focused_window_with_main": "SPACE+COMMAND+SHIFT",
"remove_all_windows": "Q+COMMAND+SHIFT",
"rotate_layout_counterclockwise": "K+COMMAND+SHIFT", # *** WARNING ***
"rotate_layout_clockwise": "J+COMMAND+SHIFT", # these keymaps are global, map carefully.
"activate_previous_window": "H+COMMAND+SHIFT", # *** WARNING ***
"activate_next_window": "L+COMMAND+SHIFT",
"zoom_active_window": "Z+COMMAND+SHIFT"
}
}
example layout 'my_layout.json'
{
"name": "my_layout", # each layout defines its own scale so
"scale": { # we can use the same layout with many
"origin": [ 0, 0 ], # different display dimensions.
"size": [ 120, 120 ]
}, # each layout's frame defines the layout
"frames": [ # for each window (and maximum number of
[ # windows that can be controlled).
{
"position": [ 0, 0 ], # if there is 1 window in the layout,
"dimensions": [ 120, 120 ] # frame 1 will maximize the window.
}
],
[
{
"position": [ 60, 0 ],
"dimensions": [ 60, 120 ] # if there are two windows in the layout,
}, # frame 2 will split the desktop down the
{ # middle with the 'main' window on the
"position": [ 0, 0 ], # and the secondary window on the left
"dimensions": [ 60, 120 ]
}
]
]
}
- clean up and documentation (this is an ongoing todo item)
- some default layouts and more keymaps
- multi-layout/monitor support
- observer to notify fusuma when a window opens/closes/changes state
- fix sizing of fixed-ratio windows like terminals and editors with fixed width fonts like MacVim/Emacs (if this is even possible)
- finish packaging/configuration (yawn)
- download and install the latest MacRuby
- it's recommended (but not required) that you install afloat and turn off window shadows
- fork fusuma
- run './build_app' to build the latest version
- run 'open fusuma.app' (or double click it)
- hax (the most important step!)
