Pressing d will activate the layer with g and y.Īt each level, a helper text is shown, like which-key in emacs.

Here, pressing option+space activates the first layer with b, t, d (browser, terminal, domain respectively) hs.loadSpoon("RecursiveBinder") - Load the spoon

#Hammerspoon build how to

Here is a minimal lua snippet on how to use it. Hammerspoon/hammerspoon Create a Hammerspoon Widget Extension. I wrote a Medium article about how to use it to make a leader key for macOS. The next step will be to start and stop the clock from the menubar, and potentially show a list of recent clocks and choose which one to use.If you're still wondering how to do this, then the RecursiveBinder Spoon for Hammerspoon will do the trick. Just pop the file a in your Hammerspoon config direction and then add the following to your a: local clocking = require "clocking" You might need to change the path to your emacsclient executable

#Hammerspoon build code

I'm not yet ready to create a spoon (a Hammerspoon module containing some specific functionality) but I have created a GitHub Gist containing the code you'll need if you'd like to get this working yourself: For this I can use the API method hs.timer.doEvery: local function startUpdatingClockingMenu( ) Has anyone used Hammerspoon for scripting automation on their Mac My ideal laptop workflow is for apps and windows to be cleanly arranged for single-tasking.

This is very hard to describe succinctly. What gives Hammerspoon its power is a set of extensions that expose specific pieces of system functionality, to the user. At its core, it is just a bridge between the operating system and a Lua scripting engine.

#Hammerspoon build update

Next I needed to determine if a clock was running, and if it was put something useful in the menu bar: local function updateClockingMenu( )ĬlockingMenu:setTitle( string.match(value, '"(.+)"'))įinally I need to get my menu item to update periodically. Hammerspoon is a tool for powerful automation of OS X. Since I intend over time to expand on this initial prototype I created a function to easily run Emacs Lisp: local function eval(sexp, callback)Ī small utility function I grabbed from helped to clean up the output for easier processing later on. Once I'd got a menubar working then the next item to tick off was to get a result from running emacsclient. To keep things nice I've created a Lua script called a which I can then import from a (that main script that Hammerspoon runs on start up).Ĭreating a menubar item using Hammerspoon is dead simple: local clockingMenu = hs.menubar.new()Īn impressively minimal API for this, and most other tasks - exactly what you want from an automation framework. Once Hammerspoon is installed and running it is relatively simple to write/install a script to perform all kinds of fun automation with macOS. This returns something used by Emacs and includes face information - however it's quite easy to extract what I need. The second is org-clock-get-clock-string. The first is org-clock-is-active - which will return nil if there isn't currently a clock running. Rather than writing any Emacs Lisp to accomplish this I'm using emacsclient and a couple of Org mode functions. This is a solved problem (for example /jordonbiondo/osx-org-clock-menubar), however I wanted to put something together myself and see if over time I could improve on previous attempts.

This might sound odd for those of you who live in Emacs - but I have to spend quite a lot of time in Xcode and Android Studio. One issue with this has been I have to use Emacs to see if I've got a timer running. As well as saving $12 a month I'm keeping my records in plain text and can easily run scripts to get the kind of stats I'm interested in on my performance on a per client and per project basis.

I've recently decided to stop using Harvest for tracking time and start using the ' clocking ' features of Org mode. Remove them and things should work again. If the hs command stops working and hs.ipc.cliInstall() doesn’t fix it, look for broken symlinks left behind from old versions of Hammerspoon.

#Hammerspoon build install

I've dabbled with Lua in the past, even going so far as to make it a scripting language in my app Trunk Notes (now discontinued so don't go looking for it on the App Store.) Under some circumstances (particularly if you build Hammerspoon from source, or if you install different versions of it), you may end up with broken symlinks. Hammerspoon is a macOS automation scripting tool which uses the language Lua.

I'm off mid morning today for my son's end of term church service - so rather than getting stuck into some serious coding I thought I'd have a play with Hammerspoon to bring the active Org mode clock to the macOS menu bar.
