I replaced four different tools with Hammerspoon - it handles my window management (replacing Slate), inserting Snippets (replacing TextExpander), keeping my Mac await when necessary (replacing Caffeine), and handles various app specific scripting (replacing an overgrown AppleScript mayhem). I sync my configuration between Macs, so that when I get a new machine it works exactly like the old one out of the box.

I used to love using autohotkey on Windows before switching to Mac but had never realized there was a Mac equivalent until now. Thanks for hunting this!

This is worth to check. Seems to be interesting

Hammerspoon is a great tool that I've used on a daily basis for years now. The main value I get from it is creating a so-called Hyper Key that allows you to assign global shortcuts to AppleScript files, window management, and much more. I wrote an article on my setup that might be useful to get started: https://kalis.me/setup-hyper-key...

Have used it for 2-3 years, LOVE IT! It was when i switch to Mac, looking for an alternative to "AutoHotKey". Btw, you should make a community page where we can share our config/functions :)

Seems to be AppleScript on steroids. I loved scripting OS9/OSX back in the day, I wrote loads of applescripts/facespan apps, good luck.

I like this, but can there be a bit more descriptions of the tools/features?

Is it more powerful than Alfred and Keyboard Maestro?

I was able to achieve a lot using Hammerspoon, super useful!
