The binary doesn't work, although interestingly it prompts me to open system preferences (where it's already listed...)
Happy to debug the system while it's in this state. But as you can see everything looks to be in order... except Xcode works and /Applications/Amethyst doesn't https://imgur.com/a/4Pi6Cn5
Sanity check steps I just tried, based on that screenshot:
- unlock settings
- remove Amethyst entry
- open /Applications/Amethyst
- receive system prompt telling me if I want to grant permission to Amethyst, I have to do it in system preferences
- Open system preferences via that dialog
- an entry for Amethyst (unchecked) has been added for me
- check the box next to Amethyst
- close system dialog
expected behavior: amethyst works
actual behavior: amethyst does not work
interestingly, I just switched to Xcode... that worked
switched back to /Applications/Amethyst, and now that works too!
Also, hello, I am back.
We could probably make it the default. Might be confusing as it wouldn't overwrite existing users.
just got a quick question, i notice action are triggered when i lift the key, not when i press them down. is there any reason for this? kind of makes it feel less responsive tho
The logging mechanism for Amethyst right now isn't particularly robust and requires some hacking to get output from.
It doesn't lend itself well to long lived use, so occasional crashes wouldn't be feasibly caught.
If you are crashing it's probably this, though ianyh/Silica#10
@ianyh, hopefully I understood your suggested feedback path, and I'm sorry if not. I use Amethyst pretty much exclusively to give me "all maximized, all the time" on my mbp. Literally the only layout enabled is "fullscreen". I like this a great deal. The one shortfall is that floating windows -- system preferences most notably -- are positioned top-left at the (0,0) of the workspace. (eg: avoid the dock and menubar.)
That feels off-balance to me, and I'd prefer if they defaulted to being centered horizontally? That'd put them in the, no pun intended, center of attention when they pop into view, given I mostly use Alfred to launch them, and that pops up in, also, the middle of the screen. (centered horizontally, ~ ten percent or so from top vertically, I think? anyway, attention is at center-top of the screen during launch.)
Does that explanation make sense? did I miss an existing enhancement request, when I combed through trello and github issues? Is there another way I should be requesting this? oh, and, thank you so much for the app. It just works, which I find wonderfully refreshing and useful. :)
@slippycheeze It's been on the docket for a while, but I haven't managed to get to it. This is the issue to track it. ianyh/Amethyst#437
Also, Amethyst “Focus Follows Mouse” no longer seems to focus on Google Chrome windows. May be due to the big chrome update, as I didn’t notice it before the update. I know it’s labeled as experimental, so, to be expected. Works fine with all other apps I am currently using.
@qayshp Could you open an issue on GitHub for ffm not working for Chrome?
opened ianyh/Amethyst#754 , if there’s anything else I can help with (testing, experiments, logs), just tag me here or on the issue.
Also, small inconveniences with FFM on that I’ve noticed and generally accepted as part of the trade-off:
- When using extensions that have hovering menus in Google Chrome (specifically LastPass), the menus close as soon as the mouse moves, regardless of where the cursor is (on the menu or not). Currently, I just resorted to using keyboard arrows.
- The same type of thing happens with iStat Menus, a macOS menu bar app that has a hover over when activated. I’ve tried adding the app to always float in Amethyst preferences, but that doesn’t help.
Mainly sharing to see if there are any workarounds I’m missing.
Tiling is so useful, but I must say, I also love FFM. Thanks for putting it in there!
of course, as soon as I switch workspaces to say that and switch back, it starts working.
But I swear I moved it back and forth between monitors a few times, plus resized some frames (to prove that Amethyst was working) and it still floated
Hi! I just installed Amethyst and it seems really cool. I'm having trouble with
command-tab not working the way it used to. Previously, it would cycle through programs that had open windows in the space, now it cycles through all open programs (most of which do nothing, since they have no open windows in the space). Is there a different keyboard shortcut I should be using, or any suggestions for how to deal with this? Thanks!

it looks like you want the setting for “When switching… switch to a Space” to be enabled. Screen shot above.

@ianyh is there anything between
0.12.1 and 0.12.2b3 that should break window handling and mouse stuff? I'm on a new work machine and noticed that (1) opening a new terminal window doesn't always reflow it, and (2) swapping secondary windows with secondary windows works, but secondary-with-primary doesn't
@tomflint_gitlab I’m not sure I quite understand the question.
Good morning :) just pushed the fix for #759 but you'll have to tell me whether the protocol/extension-fu I'm doing is reasonable
