Moving Apps To Spaces #3613

Open bocciaman opened 6 months ago

bocciaman commented 6 months ago

Is there a Hammerspoon script to move apps to different spaces (^NUM)? I've tried the MoveSpaces spoon, but the documentation is blank. I have the spoon installed but no way to control or manage it.

My approach is list all spaces, store spaces ids into an array, then look for app's windows (by using window.filter) and move every window to the desire space. I did not able to find another way, the documentation is not good.

Here a spoon i have been writing for managing spaces. The fundamental problem is that space management in OSX is a joke/mess. for example, full screen applications get their own space.

https://github.com/dmgerman/hs_dmg/blob/main/Spoons/BetterSpaces.spoon/init.lua

there are functions to move to the ith-space in a monitor (skipping fullscreen applications).

if interested, I can fork it into its own repo, so others can contribute.
