Hammerspoon: Desktop automation tool for OS X / Mac (lua)

Post by ahk7 » 28 Dec 2019, 16:45

I've only seen it briefly mentioned in a few posts, for those switching their OS perhaps useful
What is Hammerspoon?

This is a tool for powerful automation of OS X. At its core, Hammerspoon is just a bridge between the operating system and a Lua scripting engine. What gives Hammerspoon its power is a set of extensions that expose specific pieces of system functionality, to the user.

What can it do for me?

You can write Lua code that interacts with OS X APIs for applications, windows, mouse pointers, filesystem objects, audio devices, batteries, screens, low-level keyboard/mouse events, clipboards, location services, wifi, and more.
