grid.lua

-- This might be a nice FR / PR to hammerspoon, so we'll keep it out
-- of sight as a separate module that could be deleted later on.
--
-- Normally hs.grid.getCell() does not respect margins, so this helper
-- accepts a cell string and returns a frame with margins respected.
-- Most of this code was ripped from hs.grid.set(), and is just
-- modified to return a frame that respects margin settings.
--
-- Unfortunately, for this to work we also need to know the user's
-- desired margins, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to
-- hs.grid.getMargins() or similar, so we need to set here.
