Hyper Hacks

init.lua

Trigger existing hyper key shortcuts:

-- Trigger existing hyper key shortcuts

k:bind({}, 'm', nil, function() hs.eventtap.keyStroke({"cmd","alt","shift","ctrl"}, 'm') end)

Call to a shell.

Make sure to include the full path to the script/binary.

k:bind({}, 's', nil, function() hs.task.new('/usr/bin/say', nil, {'Hello, this is a test'}):start(); end)

Launch or focus an App:

-- Launch or Focus an App
launch = function(appname)
  hs.application.launchOrFocus(appname)
  k.triggered = true
end
k:bind({}, 'f', nil, function() launch('Finder') end)

Trigger another keystroke, HYPER+L sends ⌃L

-- Trigger another keystroke
k:bind({}, 'l', nil, function() hs.eventtap.keyStroke({'⌃'}, 'l'); k.triggered = true; end)

Make a list of apps focusable with HYPER and a key

launch = function(appname)
  hs.application.launchOrFocus(appname)
  k.triggered = true
end
-- Single keybinding for app launch
singleapps = {
  {'q', 'MailMate'},
  {'w', 'OmniFocus'},
  {'e', 'Sublime Text'},
  {'r', 'Google Chrome'}
}
for i, app in ipairs(singleapps) do
  k:bind({}, app[1], function() launch(app[2]); k:exit(); end)
end

Make HYPER+A,[key] focus an app

-- Sequential keybindings, e.g. Hyper-a,f for Finder
a = hs.hotkey.modal.new({}, "F16")
apps = {
  {'d', 'Twitter'},
  {'f', 'Finder'},
  {'s', 'Skype'},
}
for i, app in ipairs(apps) do
  a:bind({}, app[1], function() launch(app[2]); a:exit(); end)
end
pressedA = function() a:enter() end
releasedA = function() end
k:bind({}, 'a', nil, pressedA, releasedA)

Shortcut to reload config

-- Shortcut to reload config
ofun = function()
  hs.reload()
  hs.alert.show("Config loaded")
  k.triggered = true
end
k:bind({}, 'o', nil, ofun)

Other Ideas:

• Toggle an app’s focus

• Toggle last app

• Example using the chooser
