There are some crazier applications like using voice to control scroll bars! I’m going to describe some ways I use it that are uncommon. I often run build steps or unit tests that are slow enough that I can’t just twiddle my thumbs at the terminal, but fast enough that I can’t get into another cognitive task. The usual way I respond is to continue reading the next article on my reading list. There is a danger of getting distracted and continuing to read even when the tests are done. I’ve found that my brain is not great at noticing desktop notifications, since they tend to be in the top-right corner of a large display. My solution is to use Hammerspoon to invert the entire display’s colors and keep “flashing” the display until I switch back to the terminal window. It is triggered by some shell aliases that I append to the end of the command.įor example, I can run: bazel build //something nag_screenĪnd my screen will start flashing once the build ends (regardless of success/failure), until I switch to the terminal. ImportsĪlias nag_screen = 'hs -A -c "nagScreen()"' Here is how we hook this up in the Hammerspoon a. This uses the Hammerspoon CLI hs to call the function when the alias is run. We used JIRA at Dropbox, and I always preferred to have JIRA issue identifiers actually be links to the issue when possible. While JIRA is smart enough to do this within itself (i.e. If you have PROJ-1234 as the ticket, JIRA will link to it), other applications are not.
