screenhook

originally made to make up for features BTT lacks like:

• running applescript when monitor is attached/detached

• running applescript when you click on a corner

• running applescript for any click (without modifiers keys held)

• lets you use 3 fingers to open exposé/mission control/switch spaces w/ 3 finger drag

• Firefox (new  --vertical tabs support) (my config)

  • cmd+shift+T to reopen tabs AND windows (requires BTT bindings)
  • left-edge of window = sidebar peak
  • twoFingerSwipeFromLeftEdge of trackpad = sidebar peak_
  • top-edge of window = more consistent window dragging (compensate for userChrome.css w/ auto-reveal location bar (prevent drag))

*Note:* best if used w/ the BetterTouchTool triggers included in "steviaOS" (but not required for all features)

"steviaOS" exclusive features:

• make sure afterBTTLaunched.applescript (steviaOS script) ran, launch DockAltTab after
• "Spotlight Search.app" will only work with screenhook (dock app to toggle Spotlight / Alfred)

planned features:

• awareness of spaces
• applescript definitions - to share space awareness
• change middle mouse button behavior

startup:

• waits to run some startup apps (7-14 seconds) that depend on programs that take a bit startup (eg: BetterTouchTool, AltTab & DockAltTab (opens on startup))
• KeyCastr - set overlay position to {0, 820} (currently hardcoded for m1 air's dimensions (bottom left))
• QuickShade - uncheck "Enable Shade"

 

using screenhook (for Firefox vertical tabs) without BTT:

put in (~/.config/karabiner/assets/complex_modifications)

Fix the path in "shell_command" to point at the .scpt

or, if it's on the desktop, just replace "YOUR_USERNAME" in the example string

 

... then enable in Karabiner-Elements in order to bind Command+S to firefox-sidebar-toggle.scpt / firefox-dev-sidebar-toggle.scpt (save as .scpt w/ Script Editor)
