   Great easy automator

   Keysmith allows you to automate routine tasks by recording your clicks. Then you can assign a hotkey, or call up with a launcher (like Alfred) from an URL. It is simple--it works.

• i3 Linux -> macOS

  Then, I can only suggest http://hammerspoon.org/ and then you can start implementing window movement using it https://www.hammerspoon.org/go/#winmoveintro. Source: 11 months ago

• 49 inch Ultra Wide Monitor going from PC to Mac mini

  MacOS doesn't do this natively, but you have options: - If you just want to move windows around with some degree of keyboard customization, go for Rectangle. - If you want more control, such as sizing a bunch of windows at the same time, use Slate. - If you can code and want really high degrees of customization, you won't go wrong with Hammerspoon.

• Handy utility applications for macOS

  Both of those can be replaced by the open-source Hammerspoon (actually a significant number of the things in this thread can, including BTT). Source: about 2 years ago

• Keyboard Maestro alternatives?

  Depending on what you want from KM, Hammerspoon may be a good alternative. You can also look up on AlternativeTo for other options. Source: over 2 years ago
