hammerspoon configuration

hammerspoon is my configuration for Hammerspoon. It has highly modal-based, vim-style keybindings, provides some functionality like desktop widgets, window management, application launcher, instant search, aria2 frontend ... etc.

Get started

• Install Hammerspoon first.
• git clone https://github.com/einverne/dotfiles.git ~/dotfiles
• ln -s ~/dotfiles/hammerspoon ~/.hammerspoon
• Reload the configutation.

Keep update

cd ~/dotfiles && git pull

How to use

Use Karabier-Elements to set caps lock as hyper key. Press caps lock is just like press Cmd+Control+Option+Shift at the same time.

Reload config

• Hyper key + R, reload hammerspoon config

Hyper key windows management

• Hyper key + H, set windows to left half of screen
• Hyper key + L, right half of screen
• Hyper key + J, bottom half
• Hyper key + K, top half
• Hyper key + F, full screen

Windows management mode

Option+r Enter windows management:

• ASDW to move windows position
• HL/JK to set windows to left, right, up, down half of screen
• Y/O/U/I to set windows to LeftUp, RightUp, LeftDown, LeftDown corner
• Left/Right/Up/Down same as HL/JK
• F to set windows to full screen
• C to set windows to center
• Esc/Q to exit
• Tab to show help

Switch windows

I personally use the application called Context to switch between different windows, however this config provider another way to quickly switch between windows. Try with Option+Tab.

Toggle hammerspoon console

Option+z

Move windows between monitors

• Hyper key + N, to move current window to next monitor
• Hpper key + P, to move current window to previous monitor

Application launcher

Press option + a to enter application launcher. The shorcut information will show on the center of the screen. But I personally prefer Alfred.

Just press opt, plus A or C or R… to start. If need help, press tab to toggle the keybindings cheatsheet.

Press opt + ? to toggle the help panel, which will show all opt related keybindings.

Screenshots

These screenshots demostrate what awesome-hammerspoon is capable of. Learn more about built-in Spoons.

Desktop widgets

Window manpulation ⌥ + R

aria2 Frontend ⌥ + D

You need to run aria2 with RPC enabled before using this. Config aria2 host and token in ~/.hammerspoon/private/config.lua, then you're ready to go.

hsaria2_host = "http://localhost:6800/jsonrpc" -- default host
hsaria2_secret = "token" -- YOUR OWN SECRET

Customization

cp ~/.hammerspoon/config-example.lua ~/.hammerspoon/private/config.lua

Then modify the file ~/.hammerspoon/private/config.lua:

• Add/remove Spoons.

  Define hspoon_list to decide which Spoons (a distributing format of Hammerspoon module) to be loaded. There are 15 built-in Spoons, learn about them at here.

  There are more Spoons at official spoon repository (you may need a little config before using them).

• Customize keybindings

  Please read ~/.hammerspoon/private/config.luafor more details.

Finally press cmd + ctrl + shift + r to reload the configuration.
