Simple Window Manager - SWM

[TheBloke]

Oh, I think the issue might be because I paid? I just tried getting the item for $0, and now I see version 0.9!

Is it possible that the 'filtered coffee' version that I paid for hasn't been updated with v0.9?

@imthenachoman added features that you requested for next version. non image generated icons and remember page for predefined actions view

@TheBloke opps thats my fault, i fix that on gumroad. thanks for informing me and your support. now all options has same content

Just updated to macOS Ventura 13.3. Noticed that the grid and window alignment all got shrinked and hard to use.

[yw4z]

@pakkun can you change this lines in SWM.html file in preset folder (open SWM then press P to open preset folder. then edit with VScode or a similar app)

sc,#if,n,b,#ag,#tg,#ti{display:block}

to

sc,#if,n,b,#ti{display:block}

#ag,#tg{display:table}

i cant reproduce same issue on my mac so i will try to help until its fixed

[pakkun]

Thanks for the support! Both tables are fit to the width and height now. Just noted that the grid lines in the #ag table are gone now, but nonetheless it's functional.

[yw4z]

nice align table grid lines is hidden by default. as part of ui design

How do you deal with browsers like Chrome, Firefox where you are trying to close multiple tabs but then SWM picks this up as an attempt to resize the window?

I know I can use CMD+W, which I use a lot, but occasionally I just want to close out 2 or 3 tabs of choice, and the result is a frustrating unwanted resize.

Firefox + BTT SWM

@GurNo7117 hi, i fixed this bug for next release. this bug also appears when you try to select url with double clicking url bar.

you can edit advanced conditions of " SWM - Titlebar Double Click" trigger like this for now

right_mouse_down == 0 AND dist_x_active_win_top_left > 90 AND dist_y_active_win_top_left > -20 AND dist_y_active_win_top_left <= -5

this one limits double click to title bar only works on its 20px of top side of titlebar

i guess 20px is sweet spot, but didnt tested on many applications.

i will release next version in 1-2 weeks

@yw4z: Thank you. Do I delete these existing conditions?

[yw4z]

yes you can remove them

i have these errors ,please how can i fix it?

Hi, can you try this

(NOT (hovered_element_details BEGINSWITH "<AXApplication: \"Dock\">
 <AXList>")) AND visible_window_list CONTAINS "Dock - (null) - 18"

[MIT]

I have tried this,but it seems not work for me.

[yw4z]

click on visible windows manager

activate mission control, then press Shift + Space

then look dock related windows

i have these while mission control is active
Dock - Dock - 20
Dock - (null) - 20
Dock - (null) - 18 > Mission Control window for dock
Dock - appicon - 17
Dock - appicon - 17

these visible while mission control is not active. also my dock always visible (auto hide dock disabled)
Dock - Dock - 20 > Window for Dock itself

you can see advanced conditions window text is turning green while mission control is active if you have right conditions

if you have different number on end of "Dock - (null) - 18", you can try to change that number
i guess using ""Dock - (null) - " also works but needs testing

(NOT (hovered_element_details BEGINSWITH "<AXApplication: \"Dock\">
 <AXList>")) AND visible_window_list CONTAINS "Dock - (null) -"

i have also "Dock - appicon - 17" in window list but its not visible on app expose

let me know how you fixed it, sorry i can test on SWM on different macs and different versions of macOS. i will try add a fix for next versions with your result

[MIT]

I try this way,these are some photos.
I have used your three presets,only the swm have some problems which only one operate can work for me.Now I have no idea to deal with it.

[yw4z]

conditions for trigger works correctly with "Dock - (null) - 18", are you sure doing 4 finger tip tap left gesture correctly

you can try another gesture like 5 finger tap or four finger tap with modifier tap

here is what you should see while its working, i was opened mission control then closed window with gesture

alternatively you can try disabling other presets then try again, Enhanced dock uses to much gestures SWM can conflict with that

do you have any other problems with SWM

[MIT]

I'v tried to use the SWM seperately without other presets,so I'v eliminated the possibility of conflict.Now swm works only one gesture ‘two fingers swipe up over window'.
I'll try other different ways to test this like switch to the new users environment,if i'v done i will tell you,thanks for your help and also i really like your preset.

[yw4z]

thanks for sharing your experience

you can change BTT Settings > Trackpad > 2 finger swipe sensitivity setting to 0.2 for easier swipe detection

also you can experience with tiptap sensitivity but dont forget to take a note of default values or take a screenshot. you can change it back if you see an unwanted results after 1-2 weeks of usage

Incredible work!
I am amazed at the power there is into BTT, it's great.

I have not read SWM can keep individual window afloat, that would be a really nice addition to this

[yw4z]

im working on it

@Andreas_Hegenberg

is there a way to bypass pinned window stealing focus from webview

i tried to add a keyboard shortcut for it. it works on pinning but webview loosing focus if i got a pinned window so i cant use shortcut for unpinning without clicking webview content

//open SWM then press K
[75,r=>{
	b(); // closes webview
	AS(`tell app "System Events" to set frontmost of window 1 of process "`+AFP+`" to true`); // focuses last window
	setTimeout(i=>w(337),200)  // triggers Pin\/Unpin Focused Window To Float On Top action
}],

you can test with adding this code to line 500 if you use SWM
