- bhaney 2 hours agoMinor curiosity: Why is "(S)imple (H)ot(K)ey (D)aemon" abbreviated as "SKHD" and not "SHKD"?
Edit: Found this answer from the author of the non-zig version, though it doesn't actually explain much https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd/issues/151
- kbd 2 hours agoI wonder how much of my Hammerspoon config I could replace with this...
Edit: upon reflection, not much actually: https://github.com/kbd/setup/blob/2eaeaecf76c22be3ecef5c8563...
[-]- james2doyle 2 hours agoYeah hammerspoon seems a lot more capable.
I wrote two articles on using global hotkeys with hammerspoon:

One think you can even do is detect which devices are being used and handle shortcuts differently. You can write a full on workflow that can be triggered with a keyboard shortcut if you’re using hammerspoon.
I recently switched from a homecooked keyboard "expansion" plugin to using Espanso but it can do that as well!
- Carrok 3 hours agoI use skhd with yabai and custom layers on my keyboard for mouseless window management. It’s worked great until a recent update, I’ll try this out and see if it fixes things. Thanks!
- akulbe 3 hours agoDoes this do something like TextExpander and Keyboard Maestro? is that the general idea?
The one thing I really can't stand about macOS is "Secure Input". It won't let you use something like TE or KM to input a password. You're forced to copy and paste.
As far as I understand, you can't disable that feature either... because securiteh! :/
