Hi, currently i'm using moom because of one feature - it can save layout of windows on desktop, so i can easily organise different apps windows on every desktop.
Does this manager have this such a function or maybe planned ?
Also, is it possible to map/remap hotkeys to move active app windows around desktop ? and maybe on other desktop (left/right/exact number)
Thanks
yes i will add an option for layouts but its for general use and not fixed to selected app, here is a wip from layout builder
remapping SWM shotcuts is possible but its not user friendly, which one you want to remap
BTT has "Move to Desktop N" actions and you can use any shortcuts for them
i use this ones
fn + 1 > Move to Desktop 1
fn + 2 > Move to Desktop 2
fn + 3 > Move to Desktop 3
fn + 4 > Move to Desktop 4
fn + Tab > Move to Right Space ( easier than ctrl right )
fn + Shift + Tab > Move to Left Space
thanks for reply, probably will stay on Moom, more convenient it seems
Thanks for the app, seems very nice
Though how would I fix the grid scaling issue in the screenshot? It looks tiny inside a tiny window
Also, would is it possible for the user to change the significantly increase the size of the whole section? I don't plan to use it on hovering those tiny window buttons, but only via a shortcut, so the small size isn't helpful when using the grid
sorry im too busy lately, i couldnt look much to swm. i hope i will release a new version soon with these fixes
here is your solution for now.
thanks, that works! by the way, do you happen to maybe have a more readable source file? Maybe I could tweak the size myself as well, just those abbreviations make it hard to follow
sorry i prefer to keep source as minified to boost performance.
there is no global setting to change size of ui yet and possibly it should be complicated because there are many things to edit on code also on btt side. but i will add this to to-do list. i will add if i can find a simpler way
whats your screen resolution, is buttons too small
did you tried fullscreen overlay feature. i guess this version not includes custom grid for fullscreen. but i already implemented it for next release
thanks!
they're not "so small", it just doesn't make sense to use those buttons at all since you can have much more productive triggers
exactly, there is no grid. Looking forward to the new version.
Though will your grid be fullscreen (as that would be too big)?
Just wanted to drop in to say that this is a marvel. Very impressive for something built on BTT, which I find a bit confusing to develop with. I bought SWM through Gumroad just to give credit for such meticulous detailed work. Window management (especially with multiple monitors) is still an unsolved problem on macOS but this does a lot more than many other paid solutions and it has a nice design too. Congratulations on the achievement.
@esv
SWM doesnt offer drag to corner or edges for tiling. cause its already bundled with BTT. i guess you using tiling thats why predefined actions not useful for your workflow. currently SWM has option to start with which ui (Predefined Layouts / Custom Grid)
and here is fullscreen custom grid
@macd thanks for your support. yep development is a bit tricky but using webview is totally worth. im using mac and windows daily, window tiling mostly fixes that problem on windows and real problem on macos, apple dont care about minimized windows. they added stage manager instead of improving dock
Excited for the update, looks incredible.
Updated gumroad page with 1.0 release and i will update first post over time
Some features might require BTT alpha releases, update to alpha if you have any problems first

First of all I would like to tell you that I think that SVM is AMAZING, although only I can say this reading the features because I can't check it because when I try to import the preset, BTT crashes.
I've upgrade BTT to the last alpha version (4.273) but still closes just after press Start preset import button.
My macOS version is Sonoma 14.0 and the preset version is 1.0
EDIT: I've just checked v0.9 and it works. It appears a v1.0 bug.
@Korvenwin interesting i did all same with previous versions
can you try this
1 - delete swm preset
2 - BTT settings > Scripting BTT > Reset all variables
3 - Retry importing 1.0 version
maybe its related with old settings
@Andreas_Hegenberg btt crashes when importing new swm version. might be a bug. i exported from ventura + latest alpha 4.273
Ah strange, the importer seems to fail parsing this condition that's used somewhere:
(NOT (hovered_element_details BEGINSWITH "<AXApplication: \"Dock\">
<AXList>")) AND visible_window_list CONTAINS "Dock - (null) -"
I'm currently trying to find what's wrong with that.
NOT (hovered_element_details CONTAINS "<AXMenuBar>" OR hovered_element_details BEGINSWITH "<AXApplication: \"Dock\">")
is any thing wrong with advanced condition
no, it looks good but still crashes the Apple Predicate parser. I'm not yet sure why. Are you also on Sonoma?
nope, using ventura
I've tried what you say with the same results.
Unfortunately this looks like a macOS bug with parsing "negating" conditions if they are represented as text. I will switch to the old way of storing the conditions in the preset export, which is unfortunate but I can't find another solution yet.
Unfortunately this workaround will take until Monday!
