• You're using function keys wrong

  I've been doing this for >10 years with https://manytricks.com/butler/. Works great! You can also bind snippets of text, scripts, etc. I can't overstate how important it is to have a keyboard that groups function keys into "islands" of (generally) 4 so you can touch-type them. An ergonomics consultant once observed that the source of my neck pain was that I looked at the keyboard while typing. As a touch-typist, I... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Alternative to AutoHotKey (AHK) for Mac?

  I’m currently starting a job using windows after being on Mac for many years and have settled on AHK to replace part of my workflow from a program called Butler that I absolutely could not do without on Mac. It can do text expansion but isn’t really its main selling point. It can trigger site specific searches amongst other things that I’ve only found AHK able to replicate. Source: over 1 year ago

• Recommendation for app that makes the experience of macOS even better?

  For task/app launching, LaunchBar, QuickSilver, and Butler (and of course Alfred that you already mentioned). I use LaunchBar. Alfred is probably more powerful, but LaunchBar is the snappiest for the way I use it. It's not as much about saving seconds/milliseconds as it is being able to stay in a flow.

• Organize : file management automation tool

  As you've already found, Organize is pretty great. I don't have it running on any of my servers, but I've used it on multiple client systems before with great success. I'd highly recommend it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Selfhosted Hazel

  I use Organize for housekeeping of files. Source: over 1 year ago

• Download TV Shows

  Check out DuckieTV (or something similar, duckie is just the one I like) and Organize (just to automatically organize from the download folder to your library). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Action on folder

  On Mac there is (was?) Hazel, the closest thing on Linux is tfeldmann/organize: The file management automation tool., it uses Python. An alternative would be benjaminoakes/maid: Be lazy. Let Maid clean up after you, based on rules you define. Think of it as "Hazel for hackers"., but it uses Ruby, which I don't know. Source: over 2 years ago

• What application do you want to see in gnome?

  Organize is very good, it's written in modern python, and easy to use, but Hazel is still easier. Maid has arguably a better name, but is written in ruby, which I'm not proficient in. Source: almost 3 years ago
