Reslate

A solid backbone for your .slate.js.

What does this add to Slate?

Concise configuration.
Extensibility - it wraps the Screen, Window, and Rect objects into proxy classes. You can extend these classes pretty easily using JavaScript prototypes.
Many convenience methods:
- Reslate will take most object types in a binding and make sense of them.
- Nested object syntax for binding hotkeys (reduces need for repetition - see slate.bindAll in slate.example.js).
- Array syntax will do a slate.chain for you.
- Strings automatically map to slate's "operation" objects.
Works around some issues in Slate:
- It's harder to lose a window offscreen.
- Some useless popups are silenced.
When you hit an exception, you're provided with a full traceback if possible (see them in Console.app). You can also use $.backtrace to generate one yourself.

Do you have Slate? Get Slate.
git clone https://github.com/lunixbochs/reslate.git somewhere convenient.
ln -s "$(pwd)"/reslate.js ~/.reslate.js (Run this in Terminal / bash inside the repo).
S.src('.reslate.js'); from .slate.js to use this if you're a Slate veteran.

If you're new to Slate, copy my slate.example.js to ~/.slate.js instead.
Either way, look at slate.example.js for a full configuration.
Reslate has a high ratio of comments to code. Dive into reslate.js and hack away.

Your desktop has never looked better.

You should probably set up a Hyper key if you plan on using Slate and your computer at the same time.

I recommend modifying your private.xml to only map Hyper to ctrl+alt+cmd (and not shift).

This allows you to bind both hyper and hyper+shift as modifiers.
