One of Moom’s tricks is the ability to move and zoom windows via an onscreen bezel—this feature is enabled in Moom’s Keyboard preferences; assign a hot key to display the keyboard controller, and optionally show a cheat sheet (to help remember the commands you’ve assigned). You can also optionally repeat the same keystroke to have Moom display an onscreen grid.<\/p>\n

As an example, here’s the onscreen grid with cheat sheet:<\/p>\n

\"Moom's<\/a><\/div>\n

Moom’s onscreen bezels automatically disappear after either three seconds (no cheat sheet visible) or nine seconds (cheat sheet visible)—either after taking an action (if you haven’t marked any of the “auto-dismiss” boxes in the Keyboard section of Moom’s prefs) or after doing nothing.<\/p>\n

If you’d like to change this, you can. Open Terminal—in Applications > Utilities—then paste the following into Terminal. (Note that if you’re on OS X 10.8 or earlier, you need to quit Moom first.)<\/p>\n

\n
defaults write com.manytricks.Moom \"Auto-Deactivate Interval\" -float 1.0<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
The 1.0<\/tt> is the default timeout in seconds; replace that with whatever time interval you’d like to use, then press Return. You won’t see any output, but relaunch Moom, and the bezels should follow your chosen auto-dismiss interval. If you ever want to reverse this, quit Moom, paste the following in Terminal, and press Return:<\/p>\n
\n
defaults delete com.manytricks.Moom \"Auto-Deactivate Interval\"<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Moom should now be back to its default timeout settings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
