These Hammerspoon scripts are designed to enhance the usability and productivity of macOS by providing various workspace management features. The scripts currently help display time near the mouse cursor, prevent the menu bar from appearing, automatically tile windows of whitelisted applications, and open URLs in different browsers.

🖥️🐙 FrameMaster

FrameMaster.lua - Take control of your Mac's 'hot corners', menu bar, and dock. Master your screen frame and manage your workflow with minimal distractions.

Features

• Hot corners: Define custom actions for each corner of the screen. Actions are defined in the hotCorners table and can be updated as needed.
• Keep the dock and menubar hidden.
• Reopen last app: When an app is killed, a modal will be shown to allow you to easily reopen it.

How to Use

• Start the script and try moving your mouse to the corners of the screen to see the actions and tooltips.
• Use the Shift key to change the action performed in a corner.

🌐🔀 HyperlinkHijacker

HyperlinkHijacker.lua - It's your link, and you decide where it goes.

How to Use

• When you click a link, a list will pop up with your defined browsers/profiles. If no choice is made before the countdown ends, the first browser in the list will automatically open the link. To bypass the chooser and directly open the link in the first browser, press the Shift key while clicking the link.
• A handy feature is the ability to copy a link directly to your clipboard by choosing the "Copy to Clipboard" option in the chooser.
• Passthroughs are rules that allow specific links to bypass the browser and open directly in their respective applications. You can define them in the passthroughs variable. For example:

local passthroughs = {
    spotify = { url = "https://open.spotify.com/", appName = "Spotify", bundleID = "com.spotify.client" },
    -- Add more passthroughs here if needed
}

• Setting up Browsers: Specify your preferred browsers in the browsers variable along with any necessary arguments. For example:

local browsers = {
    { name = "Arc", appName = "Arc", bundleID = "company.thebrowser.Browser", args = {""} },
    { name = "Google Chrome", appName = "Google Chrome", bundleID = "com.google.Chrome", args = {""} },
    -- Add more options here if needed
}

🗂️🔍 MenuMaestro

MenuMaestro.lua - Easily access menu items and shortcuts with a visually appealing interface.

How to Use

• Hit ^ CTRL⌥ ALTSPACE to activate the menu chooser and browse through the items. You can also open the menu chooser by using a 5-finger touch gesture on your trackpad. Just tap with four fingers on the trackpad to open the MenuMaestro interface.
• Select a menu item with your mouse or keyboard to execute it, or use the search functionality to quickly find what you need.

🪄🖱️ TrackpadWizard

TrackpadWizard.lua lets you set up areas on your Magic Trackpad to perform specific actions.

Features

• Create customized trackpad zones for specific actions.
• Includes gesture crafting mode to help you create new zones.

How to Use

• Use the ^ CTRL⇧ SHIFTG hotkey to enter Gesture Craft mode and create new gesture zones. In this mode, make a diagonal gesture across your desired zone, and the zone coordinates will be printed for you to use.
• Print the ForceKeys template to overlay on your Trackpad.

🪄🌇 WindowScape

WindowScape.lua is the ultimate tool in window organization, transforming chaos into a neat urban landscape.

Features

• Automatically tiles windows of whitelisted applications (or set it to avoid tiling the apps listed there).

How to Use

Use the ⌘ CMD< hotkey to add/remove the application of the currently focused window to/from the whitelist. After whitelisting an application, its windows will be automatically tiled by the script.
