docs » hs.hints

A fully specified family-face name, preferably the PostScript name, such as Helvetica-BoldOblique or Times-Roman. (The Font Book app displays PostScript names of fonts in the Font Info panel.)

The size of font that should be used. A value of 0.0 will use the default size.

This controls the set of characters that will be used for window hints. They must be characters found in hs.keycodes.map

Opacity of the application icon. Default is 0.95.

If there are less than or equal to this many windows on screen their titles will be shown in the hints.

If this is set to "vimperator", every window hint starts with the first character

If the title is longer than maxSize, the string is truncated, -1 to disable, valid value is >= 6

Displays a keyboard hint for switching focus to each window

• windows - An optional table containing some hs.window objects. If this value is nil, all windows will be hinted
• callback - An optional function that will be called when a window has been selected by the user. The function will be called with a single argument containing the hs.window object of the window chosen by the user
• allowNonStandard - An optional boolean. If true, all windows will be included, not just standard windows

• None

• If there are more windows open than there are characters available in hs.hints.hintChars, multiple characters will be used
• If hints.style is set to "vimperator", every window hint is prefixed with the first character of the parent application's name
• To display hints only for the currently focused application, try something like:
• hs.hints.windowHints(hs.window.focusedWindow():application():allWindows())
