Dear WeatherCat "tinkerers,"
There is a new automation tool for the Mac called (oddly enough) : Hammerspoon. Here is the website:
http://www.hammerspoon.org/ (http://www.hammerspoon.org/)
It is a free product although it doesn't appear to be open-source. It is based on yet another scripting language called Lua (https://www.lua.org/). Here is the Wikipedia article about it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_(programming_language) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lua_(programming_language))
This language is a Brazilian creation.
Even if learning - yet another - scripting language is a real downer, Hammerspoon as a lot capability and much of it is unique. Here is the API page:
http://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/ (http://www.hammerspoon.org/docs/)
Unfortunately, the one capability I've been seeking for many years isn't included: moving application windows from one space to another in Mission Control. Still, somebody might find a use that only Hammerspoon can meet. So at the very least, it is worth a bookmark for some potential future use.
Cheers, Edouard [cheers1]
