@Duval_Barrett i will share next release with gap feature soon, will add this feature on following release
thanks alot, no rush at all appreciate your work
Thought this app's UI might be interesting: https://thelasso.app
It's able to show a grid over the screen, user draws a window shape to resize app windows. (Like some word processor's UI to select number of rows and columns for tables.)

You're a fucking lovely human being you know that? Haha, appreciate it, I'm so stupid shoulda known to find it in Named triggers 
.
Thing is even with it disabled, it still shows this message anytime you double click a window to zoom (default behavior for MacOS)
@deeznugs looks like its a bug on BTT, you can delete trigger if not planning to use for now
similar discussion in community
@Andreas_Hegenberg disabling double click titlebar trigger with context menu > Enable/Disable Selected Trigger still shows a alert about doubleclick feature. look posts above. added a setting to SWM for it but disabling not enough
@vurt it has cool ui. saving window positions also cool. maybe i can create a similar feature based on most used workspaces instead of selected window.
showing grid on background appeared in my mind after adding custom grid feature. sometimes i was surprised because selected grid looks not same with end result due to different ratio of screen and custom grid. i'm planing to add this feature but i have to make a big change on code for this.
also swm has advantage with predefined actions compared to this

I'll have a look!
Finally got my mac working again. Installed the new version and absolutely love it. Thank you so much!
This is probably a silly question with an obvious answer that I'm just missing so forgive me because I'm new here. Where am I able to review the Apple Scripts prior to installing? Is there a Github repo link I'm missing somewhere?
Obviously with the system permissions BTT requires it would be utterly stupid to just blindly install a zip like this, so I'm guessing I'm just not seeing a link or button somewhere on here..
But I did look reasonably hard before asking for what that's worth haha
Looks like a fantastic preset by the way and I can't wait to use it!
@imthenachoman glad you like it, thanks for support and your help on custom grid, i will release a new version soon with a lot of new features
i was planned to release last week but found few bugs and so tested more, popup view is still exist this ui is addition. here is a preview
@anon
you can download preset file from gumroad for free
just put 0 for price and you can use a dummy email
If you want to review a BTT preset file before installation
you can change .bttpresetzip extension to .zip to extract
SWM uses only 3 applescripts as file most of scripts in html file

I have both a Windows and macOS machine for work. For the last few years I've been bouncing between the two but I mostly stick to Windows.
Now, because of SWM, and some Karabiner key swaps, I'm sticking to just macOS. I absolutely love SWM.
I had an idea/question. Right now you have hard-coded the pre-defined actions and have associated images.
I'm wondering, what if you let the user create their own pre-defined actions and used CSS to dynamically create the associated image.
So, imagine in the SWM config there is string like:
pre_defined=4x4:2,2,2,2;6x2:1,1,3,2;5x5:1,1,3,3
And then the tool would dynamically create those and use HTML/CSS/JS to create the associated "images".
In my example, each predefined action follows this formula:
CxR:x,y,w,h:
-
C= number of columns -
R= number of rows -
x= row number for where the window should start -
y= column number for where window should start -
w= width of window represented as number of cells -
h= height of window represented as number of cells
I'm happy to mock something together if you think this would be a good idea?
Is it just me?
For some reason I can't get the download on the gumroad link to work.
Also, it says 0.7 version on the download button.
Please advise
Duh.
After clicking the desired amount, you have to manually enter the amount to enable the "Buy" button!

@imthenachoman yep u actually describe workspaces feature, im working its design for a while
my plan for SWM
0.9 > fullscreen ui with many improvements ( i will try to release tomorrow, i hope 
)
1.0 > add custom grid for fullscreen ui & some under hood work
1.1 > workspaces, this one is a bit challenging
here is my design template for workspaces, users can draw and save their predefined window layouts
also i have to make ui bigger for easier usage

Workspace looks incredible.
I keep thinking of an app or a functionality like what you're doing with workspaces, but with the ability to cmd+tab through these different workspace set up for different tasks. Instead of cmd+tab to switch apps or windows.
Similar to the idea of Spaces or Stage Manager to group apps for tasks, but these Workspaces exist on one desktop in stacked layers that I can cmd+tab.
Right now I'm using Contexts to switch apps and it has a function to manually organize apps into groups. In theory I should be able to cmd+tab through groups of apps.
Sidenote: Is there a way to capture a log to troubleshoot? I disabled SWM for now because I think sometimes when I right-click my mouse, it seems to trigger SWMM or something else in BTT that resizes my window. I have no idea how to troubleshoot it except it hasn't appeared since I disabled SWM.
u can try to use often builtin spaces feature for that, it works nicely. you can switch between spaces with ctrl+1, ctrl+2...
also you can use this triggers on BTT
Ctrl + Tab > Next space
Ctrl + Shift + Tab > Previous space
You can move windows to next/previous space with SWM easily with keyboard shortcuts. Shift + Left / Rİght
SWM not generates a log atm only you can use console log but it only shows critical errors
BTT only opens SWM when you right click minimize button. additionally you can check your all triggers related with right click. Let me know if see similar bug on next version

Yeah I've tried Spaces, just not a fan of it visually—the whole animation of moving between Spaces.
But that's a nice tip to use ctrl+tab!
I don't know what's going on re. the right-click trigger because I don't use BTT for the mouse. I've been using Steermouse for 10+ years I think. :: Before BTT became the swiss army knife it is now—I use BTT for trackpad gestures and keyboard shortcuts for window resize/snap.
I'll definitely give new SWM a spin, I'd been waiting for a new version and hoping the odd right-click issue magically goes away!

The workspace feature is nice, but that's not what I was talking about.
Right now, the pre-defined actions are for left half, right half, top half, bottom half, top left, ... left third ... etc.
But not everyone uses/needs all of those pre-defined actions. So, my idea was to give users a way to create their own pre-defined actions.
Also, have you considered developing this for Windows? I've been working on something using AutoHotKey. I'd love to talk to you about it. Can I email you?
Currently swm buttons has this template
<a onclick='o([0,66,66,34])'
t='3x3 Bottom Left Two'
><img src=3X3BLT.png
/></a>
i can use this as template for custom icons
<!-- <pg> will create a navigation dot-->
<pg t='Tooltip for customized page for predefined actions' >
<c> <!-- <c> is container for rows, it supports justify-content:space-between-->
<a custom='0,66,66,34' t='Tooltip text for custom icon' ></a>
<a custom='0,66,66,34' t='Tooltip text for custom icon' ></a>
<a custom='0,66,66,34' t='Tooltip text for custom icon' ></a>
</c>
</pg>
i can generate icons with custom variable but icons will be pixelated or gets wrong anti aliasing on end result. But i understand your point, you want to add your own actions without dealing with icon designs.
i will try to implement this feature
i sent a pm to you, about windows stuff
