Is this project still maintained? #527
Description
Slate still works great for me, even on Big Sur. It is absolutely amazing that @jigish wrote such a great window manager that it still works and is the best option I know of eight years after the last commit. I will keep using Slate as long as it still works, but I think I will eventually have to migrate to something else if Slate is no longer maintained. If that is the case, what would be the recommended replacement?
I think Slate is better than the options below so hopefully someone can recommend something new...
❌ Rectangle
❌ Amethyst
❌ Yabai
There are plenty of other window managers in the awesome-mac lists:
- https://github.com/jaywcjlove/awesome-mac#window-management
- https://github.com/iCHAIT/awesome-macOS#window-management
- https://github.com/phmullins/awesome-macos#windows-managers
Is there a window manager that anyone can recommend?

I am also wondering this. I love Slate, but I've had a couple of minor issues with Big Sur;
I've not looked at alternatives. Before Slate I was using BetterTouchTool for Window-snapping, but prefer the customizable config file approach of Slate and the auto-arrangement when changing displays.

Slate was not working for me in Big Sur, any tips? Could it be a problem with hot keys or access?

I think we should switch to Hammerspoon.
The biggest obstacle is translating slate features and config file settings into lua code,
but I found an example of an
init.luafile that replicates the chain feature from slate:https://gitlab.com/wincent/wincent/-/blob/master/aspects/dotfiles/files/.hammerspoon/init.lua#L216

For me, @infews tip worked with a twist:
