here is my entire config

    hs.hotkey.bind({"ctrl"}, "D", function()
      hs.grid.show()
    end)

(1) ctrl-d to see the grid, (2) type the letter where you want the top left corner of your window to be, (3) type the letter where you want the bottom right corner to be

window resized

Wow... that's... incredible. I've used Hammerspoon forever and never knew that existed.

Just messing around I found you can extend the grid size with `hs.grid.setGrid('4x4')`, which you also may then want to shrink the text size with `hs.grid.ui.textSize = 30`, and finally if you use an alternative keyboard layout (eg: Colemak), you can set the grid to use it with `hs.grid.HINTS`. They really thought of everything with this feature.

This is amazing! I have a slightly more elaborate setup that allows me to resize from one or another side, similar to what Apple added recently but with more flexibility, but this is super interesting, thanks for sharing!

Neat until you need to sync configs or keep multiple machines in harmony, at which point dotfile headaches stack up with Hammerspoon and Lua. Adding complex logic like window rules, app-specific behavior, or handling monitor changes strips away some of that hotkey simplicity and leads to endless tweaking. Still, for avoiding the mouse, it's one of the few flexible options left on macOS that doesn't feel ancient. Tradeoffs everywhere but nowhere else really compares in control.

Not that I insert EOFs very often, but does that conflict with CTRL+D in the terminal?
