Macros that move/resize windows to the top/bottom/edges/corners of the screen, for people that have a numeric keypad on their keyboard. The triggers keys are the eight keys around the "5" key on the numeric keypad. For when you don't have a numeric keypad, there are alternate trigger keys, grouped around a key on the home row. Trouble is, I use a Dvorak keyboard layout, so you'll have to change the alternate triggers.
@JMichaelTX I often display multiple apps at the same time. One simple example is mail on the left and chrome on the right.
I used to have (I even think it was from you) a macro to toggle between windows.
I found variants in this forum but none which would:
I use CMD-TAB for that purpose. You can use either the macOS app switcher, or KM's. I use the KM version. Once you have done a CMD-TAB and selected the first app, and then the second app, a quick CMD-TAB and release without even manually selecting anything works well for me.
Have you tried CMD-BackTick? That toggles the front two windows of an app for me.
But I know that you had a very nice little macro to toggle frontmost windows (app independent) !. You had even told me to use it with your excellent Window Palette. You had recommended it and I liked it so much ! I remember giving it a shortcut ⌘→ which is more user friendly in terms of hand movements than CMD-TAB. In addition I didn't have the list of app icons flash on the screen every time I switch windows which becomes unbearable after the 10th switch. I used it all the time and am so frustrated that I can't retrace it.
Sorry, @ronald, I don't remember a macro like that, and I've just searched all of my macros and didn't find anything.
You might do a forum search on my username "@JMichaelTX window palette" and read through the found posts.
I retraced it and it's a simply mouse click on the left right hand of the screen to toggle windows.
It is simple but effective.
I had 2 macros, one for click on / activate right window and one for left window.
I put the actions below just to show you. Normally it would be one action per macro with its own shortcut.
Question: to simplify things, ie put both actions in the same macro and limit myself to a single shortcut, is there a way to create a shortcut that toggles both actions.
My gut feeling would be an if then else or case action with the condition if the cursor is in the left half of the screen. The question is how to create that condition.
What do you mean when you say it doesn't work? Do you mean nothing at all happens, or something happens, but not what you expect? Without more details, all I can say is that this example works fine for me:
my profuse apologies Gabe.
I was mouse clicking with respect to the front windows instead of the screen
I also apologize for the moronic “does not work” without a proper description post.
all is fine now and thanks very much !!
