10.5: Use Proxi.app to switch Spaces
Thanks trueno,
Your switcher.app was a great idea! ...however, it got me thinking -- I really wanted to use Cmd-Enter as my Spaces activation trigger (rather than 'switch between spaces') since this would allow me to activate Spaces and quickly navigate between the screens with the arrow and Enter/Return keys, all with very little travel from the bottom right of the keyboard I was about to write to you asking if you'd consider adding that type of functionality to your app, when it dawned on me: I was already using Griffin's Proxi.app to control iTunes with hotkeys, so it was a simple matter of creating other hotkeys triggers to control Spaces. (Use Proxi's 'Hotkey Monitor' trigger with a 'Key Press' task) In short order, I was able to recreate my preferred setup when I was using VirtueDesktops under Tiger:
Cmd-Enter = Activate Spaces Cmd-Opt-(backtick) = Switch to Next Space
Cmd-Opt-1 = Space 1 Cmd-Opt-q = Space 2 Cmd-Opt-a = Space 3 Cmd-Opt-z = Space 4 [May need to fiddle with 'System Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts' to resolve hotkey assignment conflicts] Why the weird keys for the individual Spaces? I prefer to arrange my workspaces in a 1x4 vertical column and on a US keyboard the 1-Q-A-Z keys are all stacked on top of each other, mimicking this arrangement. (Cmd-Opt-[1/Q/A/Z] is also much easier for me reach than Cmd-Opt-[1/2/3/4] is) Although it seems I won't be using your Switcher app, thanks for the nice idea and for sharing it with others. I don't think using Proxi would have occurred to me if I hadn't tried Switcher first. |
