drag without clicking trackpad #21
Comments
I really want this feature. This program works much better than BTT's current implementation (which is already quite buggy even prior to Sierra). It is buttery smooth and does not lose track of the dragged window. But forcing the user to actually click makes it much more cumbersome and less efficient. |
I also look for an alternative to Zoom/2. This does almost what Zoom/2 did, you just have to click on right/left mouse button. That's a small usability issue on desktop but on a macbook with a touchpad it's not usable at all. Once this is solved, I know quite a few users of Zoom/2 who will immediately use this project. |
I've never used zooom/2, and took a bit of searching to find out what it is, but I have been quite happy with Better Touch Tool's equivalent functionality. It's hidden in the settings. But it works without requiring clicking. It's a big deal. 😊 |
A workaround is described here: #25 (comment) — with the workaround you can use the three finger drag without having to click. |
Yes, this and #36 would give you feature parity (well, window moving/resizing parity) with HyperDock too |
After having waited for months for hover-resize to be added, I started digging through existing forks, and was pleased to discover that the @finestructure's fork does exactly what I wanted. It compiled without issue with Xcode (9.4.1) and can be configured to work exactly the same way as bettertouchtool. The changes for the behaviour above are in the branch named Compilation steps (you must have Xcode installed):
A zipped binary version that I compiled is here (you probably should not install random binaries, but in case you don't care or don't feel like building it yourself you have it). @finestructure: in case you get to read this then many-many thanks for your work! |
@elfua thanks - I'm glad this is proving useful :) Having received feedback from @dmarcotte about forking this in #41 I'll look into cleaning this up into a "hover mode only" fork. |
@elfua please also note that I've changed my Github username a few days ago from |
@finestructure: thanks for the heads-up! i've updated the repo, even though github does indeed redirect to the updated account name. |
Just wanted to say thank you so much to @elfua and @finestructure! Working perfectly. |
FYI, I've just pushed the first release of Hummingbird, with the "hover" behaviour: https://github.com/finestructure/Hummingbird/releases/tag/2.0.0 |
@finestructure should there be a compiled application file in the ....app.zip? (i'll talk over on your repo if we continue on) |
@CodisRedding Yes, just unzipping the file should do the trick! Please open an issue over in my repo if it’s not working, happy to take a look. |
Closing in favor of #50 |
How easy would it be to mimic what zooom2 does and allows windows to be dragged without having to actually click the trackpad and dragging, but instead just keys + dragging?
