Have you looked at Nix much?
Its fricken awesome
I haven’t tried Nix.
Didn’t actually know about it until now. :)
It doesn't happen with my brew installed emacs
Is this with just one screen, but moving between desktops on that screen?
Does anyone have any ideas about how I could determine if a Chrome window has a dialog open, so I can mark the Chrome window as "focused"? I've explored Silica and I tried adding what I was hoping would be a "ParentWindow" property but I couldn't get anything to work (parent window code that doesn't get me quite what I want: https://github.com/axs221/Silica/blob/master/Silica/SIWindow.m#L73)
@axs221 one thing you could try is taking the application element, enumerating windows, and looking for something that is modal. Depending on how it's done this might be expensive performance-wise to check each time, so you would have to store something that tracks window open and close events.
I have the following config https://gist.github.com/dustinlacewell-wk/2fa42f0aceb2a74bae065160d81b1d7d but it doesn't seem to change the
throw-space-* bindings....
For the space commands are you sure that you have the system commands for changing spaces enabled? It’s documented in the README.
Yes I have enabled the Mission Control space keybindings. The problem is that Amethyst does not utilize the keybindings configured in the ~/.amethyst and just retains the defaults. Which is strange because it does read the other bindings in the file. Just not the "throw-space-*" bindings.
Similarly to @axs221 's PR about minimum sizing for windows, I'm tossing around the idea of being able to resize the individual frames for the secondary windows. However, I'm a bit nervous about how much work this would be. There doesn't seem to be a data structure in place for subdividing the areas, just a single "ratio" as defined by the protocol.
This feature only makes sense if you can use the mouse to resize things (i.e. #627) but it would add a lot of nice flexibility
Has anyone had a chance to mess with my mouse-enabled branch that could offer feedback on that idea?
As for the individual frames thing, the way the paned layouts are designed is for simplicity. I haven't thought about it super hard, but I'm not sure you can unambiguously define the window sizes and adding windows gets very odd.
In general, that is the kind of thing that would need to be handled by a new layout, not the layout system itself.
And at that point it might make more sense for it to wait until there's a more robust layout configuration system; i.e., user-defined layouts using js.
@ianyh If I was going to define a global constant for
CGWindowId(0) (context: this PR comment), should it go in Silica and/or Amethyst? And if so, where? Needs to be accessible from WindowManager, SIWindow+Amethyst, and one of the layouts.
- Is there a way to make it more clear which window has focus now? The mac doesn't have a stark highlight on the focused window IMHO
- Is there a way to "focus" on a window by centering it on the screen but not making it full screen. Ideally I would like to bring it to center and then send it back to where it was.
- Is there a way to disable it without quitting entirely.
Thanks.
