@ianfixes #127 could be interesting for debugging, but it's possible what you actually want is a separate debugging mode that layers debug information over all windows.
For #127 I wasn't thinking so much of debugging as for helping folks see whether things are windows or panels. (Case in point, NathanRightnour's issue). Like, maybe the popup for "identify" would also point out which window is which. I dunno, should I open an issue to track that idea?
Just to properly communicate it, I put up some PRs for documentation updates around hotkeys.

Are there any rules on picking up tickets on the twillo board?
Hey there. I just downloaded Amethyst for OS X 10.13.6. I enabled it through the Accessibility settings, but whenever I run the hot keys to change layouts, I see it echo the layout its switching to in the middle of my screen, but no windows are moved. Can anyone think of something dumb that I'm doing?
this happens for all kinds of events, moving windows between screens, resizing for new windows, rearranging windows on the same screen, etc
any ideas?
i can usually get the window to settle in the right spot by switching focus back and forth between windows, each time amethyst moves the window a little closer to where it should be
High Sierra 10.13.6
4 monitors: 1x retina display, 2x 2560x1440 and 1x 4k display
But it's been fairly rare.
I rarely have that many monitors.
he would timeout after 100 milliseconds, which wasn't enough
Not sure how to approach it.
It's also possible that the total number of windows impacts it. If you have 20 windows visible and they all receive accessibility calls at the same time would some of them be more likely to time out than if you had 10 windows?
still not perfect though
It’s a lot of delay for an already slow operation, though.
Could you link me to the code you’re talking about?
unfortunately its free closed source https://talonvoice.com
its a general purpose framework for hands free interaction with mac
window management API is just one of the features
https://github.com/dwiel/talon_community/blob/master/misc/window_snap.py#L42 is one my scripts which also works around some of this slowness but at a high and inefficient level
it forces window resize animations
:facepunch:
For example, throwing a window from your second display to your first display would be shift+ctrl+opt+w by default.
And thanks!
It provides the UI and an adaptable mechanism for adding more info if needed.
