Mjolnir.winter

A module for moving/resizing your windows using a fluent interface (see Usage below).

The name winter is a portmanteu of window master.

Usage

local winter = require "winter"
local win = winter.new()


local cmdalt  = {"cmd", "alt"}
local scmdalt  = {"cmd", "alt", "shift"}
local ccmdalt = {"ctrl", "cmd", "alt"}

-- make the focused window a 200px, full-height window and put it at the left screen edge
hotkey.bind(cmdalt, 'h', win:focused():wide(200):tallest():leftmost():place())

-- make a full-height window and put it at the right screen edge
hotkey.bind(cmdalt, 'j', win:focused():tallest():rightmost():place())

-- full-height window, full-width window, and a combination
hotkey.bind(scmdalt, '\\', win:focused():tallest():resize())
hotkey.bind(scmdalt, '-', win:focused():widest():resize())
hotkey.bind(scmdalt, '=', win:focused():widest():tallest():resize())

-- push to different screen
hotkey.bind(cmdalt, '[', win:focused():prevscreen():move())
hotkey.bind(cmdalt, ']', win:focused():nextscreen():move())

NOTE: One must start with win:focused() or win:window('title') and end with a command move(), place(), resize(), or act() (they are all synonyms for the same action). This chain of commands will return a function that one can easily pass to hotkey.bind.

Todo

• vcenter/hcenter (done in 8c983c59b4593259e6aa4b3c714001227f58ec8b)
• improve screen handling (done in 5851cbe)
• tests
• do a proper documentation, as the one coming with mjolnir is painfull
