phoenix-mercury-mover

My Phoenix config.

I upgraded to macOS Sierra and MercuryMover stopped working. So I implemented some of its functionalities with Phoenix.

Presentation

Move and resize windows on your Mac from the keyboard, positioning them precisely where you want.

Installation

Clone this git repository, then symlink phoenix.js to ~/.phoenix.js:

# Backup old config
[ -e ~/.phoenix.js ] && mv ~/.phoenix.js ~/".phoenix.js-$(date +%s)"
# Symlink new config
ln -s /path/to/repo/phoenix.js ~/.phoenix.js

Configuring Presets

Configure custom presets and modifier keys by creating a config.js file in this repository's directory. The file should define a variable CONFIG with optional properties PRESETS and MAIN_MODIFIERS. CONFIG.PRESETS should be an array of presets, where each preset is an object with {key, width, height, x, y} or {key, shortcut} properties. CONFIG.MAIN_MODIFIERS should be an array of modifier keys. Here's an example below:

// config.js

const CONFIG = {
  MAIN_MODIFIERS: ['cmd', 'ctrl'],
  PRESETS: [
    {key: 'f', width: 2560, height: 1573, x: 0, y: 23},
    // Using a custom shortcut
    {key: 'x', shortcut: () => Window.focused().setTopLeft({x: 0, y: 0})},
  ],
}

See config.example.js for my personal setup.

Usage

Hit one of the main shortcut keys to activate the move or resize mode:

1. cmd-ctrl-up to move the frontmost window

2. cmd-ctrl-right to resize (from right/down) the frontmost window

A popup shows up that explains which keys to press and what they do.

Additionally you can hit some keys while the popup is shown to move the frontmost window to a preset position and/or size:

• m to maximise the window

• = to center the window

• h to move and resize the window to the left half of the screen

Hit esc to dismiss the popup.

This repository is a fork of phoenix-mercury-mover, authored by Kemar.

The main goals of this fork are:

1. Implement all of mercury mover
2. Make it easier for people to configure their own presets
3. Switch to ES2015 for cleaner code
