If ShiftIt is not in the list, just drag and drop it there from the Applications folder.Īlternatively, this can be also done in a command line, however, this is rather a hack with all potential issues hacks come with.
This can be done either using the GUI in System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> Privacy -> Accessibility where it is necessary to check and uncheck the checkbox which is next to ShiftIt in the Allow the apps below to control your computer.

How to repair Accessibility API permissions?
#Brew hammerspoon mac os x#
ShiftIt wants accessibility access on my Mac but my system preferences don't match the instruction, why?įor instructions on accessibility in Mac OS X 10.9.x, see this comment.
Before you do please consult the list of known problems. In order to help to improve ShiftIt, please submit an issue every time you find some weird behavior. ShiftIt is based on a Cocoa Accessibility API and sometimes this API can be a bit fragile and not do exactly what it should. I pressed a shortcut, something happened, but not what I expected, why? If you find any problem not mentioned in the list, please raise an issue.
#Brew hammerspoon windows#
While most of application windows should work well with ShiftIt, there are some exceptions (like the GTK+ OSX applications). I pressed a shortcut, but nothing has happened, why? I disabled the Show Icon in Menu Bar in the preferences, how can I get it back? To turn the feature on, run:ĭefaults write multipleActionsCycleWindowSizes YESĭefaults write multipleActionsCycleWindowSizes NO If the feature is off, additional snappings will have no effect and the window will remain at half of the screen.Ĭurrently, the only way to accomplish this is by running commands on the command line. If window is then snapped to the same side of the screen, it will resize to one third of the screen, and then two thirds of the screen. If this feature is on, snapping to the left side of the screen (and top, bottom, and right sides) will resize the window to half of the screen. How do I turn on/off windows cycling sizes with multiple hotkey presses? The primary development is done on OSX 10.10, but it should be running under OSX 10.7 as well. If you find any problem not mentioned there, please submit an issue. Some applications might not work correctly or not at all. Normally, all Cocoa windows and X11 windows are supported. It provides a set of actions that manipulates windows positions and sizes.įollowing is an example of list of actions available: ShiftIt installs itself in the menu bar (optionally it can be completely hidden). You only have to do this the first time you launch the newly-downloaded application. Please note, because the binary is not signed, you'll have to "right click" on the application, click "Open", and subsequently click "Open" in the dialog that appears. It is a complete rewrite of the original ShiftIt by Aravindkumar Rajendiran which is not longer under development.įor discussing any sort of stuff about this app, please create a new issue.Ĭhange logs: change logs are versioned in the repository as well.Ī binary build for OSX 10.7+ is available in releases.
#Brew hammerspoon full#
It intends to become a full featured window organizer for OSX. ShiftIt is an application for OSX that allows you to quickly manipulate window position and size using keyboard shortcuts. You can use the ShiftIt Spoon which implements the ShiftIt functionality in Hammerspoon.Īdditionally there is a step-by-step guide to replicating ShiftIt's features using Hammerspoon yourself: Until that transition is completed, there will likely not be further development on this project.Ī highly recommended alternative to ShiftIt that can be implemented using Hammerspoon. This project is looking for a new maintainer.
