It is so convenient to move window to other space with this API

But, I think it is too ordinary,yes, I mean it’s not beautiful… :wink: ;

Dear Stephen,
Could you give us an amazed API, just like: A animation when the window moving to other space,
for ex: slide window over other space

share my script , I use Alfred APP to run this script when press the hotkey F1

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'totalspaces2’
current_space = TotalSpaces2.current_space
windows = TotalSpaces2.window_list
case current_space
when 1
dest_space = 2
when 2
dest_space = 1
when 3
dest_space = 4
when 4
dest_space = 3
else
end
if !windows.empty?
current_space_windows = windows.select {
|window| window[:space_number] == current_space
}
if current_space_windows[1]
TotalSpaces2.move_window_to_space(
current_space_windows[0][:window_id], dest_space
)
TotalSpaces2.set_front_window(current_space_windows[1][:window_id])
elsif current_space_windows[0]
TotalSpaces2.move_window_to_space(
current_space_windows[0][:window_id], dest_space
)
end
end

Dear Stephen …

Oh hi… I’m sorry I somehow missed your request.

I suppose there could be an API like move_window_and_change_to_space that would do the same as when you move a window with the hotkey. Is that what you wish for?

5

No, I just want to move windows to other space without switching space at the same time;

for example: A message received when I am writing email, and I need to reply this message right now,
and then I would throw away the msg window to other window after done this;

                It's COOL?

I wanna animation when the window moving to other space but not disappeared immediately when I press hotkey;

I wish the window sliding to other space when I press hotkey “F1”

#!/usr/bin/ruby
require ‘totalspaces2’

current_space = TotalSpaces2.current_space
windows = TotalSpaces2.window_list
if current_space < 4
dest_space = current_space + 1
else
dest_space = 1
end

if !windows.empty?
current_space_windows = windows.select {
|window| window[:space_number] == current_space
}
if current_space_windows[0]
TotalSpaces2.move_window_to_space(
current_space_windows[0][:window_id], dest_space)
if current_space_windows[1]
TotalSpaces2.set_front_window(current_space_windows[1][:window_id])
end
end
end

Ok, that’s clear, thanks. I will think about it. Possibly the API could offer control of the position of the window, so you could do whatever animation you want yourself.

9

Oh，haha，Thank you!
Could you give me a beta version ASAP, I could not wait to test the feature！

And I will parade this perfect feature to my friends!

10

Dear Stephen，I am so sorry for bothering you every few days, but I think I can not wait, I am a fanatic fans of TS!

11

I’ll add it when I can, be a little patient! :slight_smile:

12

My Dear Stephen！！！！！！！！！！！！！

13

Sorry, busy with other priorities. I will get to your API change, please wait a little.

14

:smile:，TKS very much!

Could I try it before the new year?

15

Definitely before Chinese new year :slight_smile:

16

Oh, it’s a long time! I need a surprise gift
