# Penc

Penc is yet another window manager app for macOS. Instead of complicated keyboard shortcuts, Penc is designed for trackpad usage.

## Usage

- Double press and hold Command Key (⌘) to activate Penc

  - Drag with two fingers to move the window

  - Pinch with two fingers to resize the window

    - Pinch vertically to make the window taller/shorter, or horizontally to make it wider/thinner

  - Fast swipe with two fingers to snap the window into halves/quarters

- Release Command Key (⌘) to take effect

## Installation

There are two recommended options for installation.

**Homebrew**

`$ brew install penc --cask`

**Download Release from Github**

- Download latest dmg file from [Releases page](https://github.com/dgurkaynak/Penc/releases)

- Mount and open that dmg file

- Copy the application into `Applications` folder

- Run the application from `Applications` folder

- Penc will request to access accessibility features on first run

- Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility, allow Penc

- Run the application again

## System Requirements

Penc supports macOS High Sierra (10.13) and above.

## Common Issues

### Pinch to resize is not working

In order to detect pinch gesture, `Zoom in or out` option must be turned on under the `System Preferences` > `Trackpad` > `Scroll & Zoom`

## Build & Running

```bash

# Install dependencies

pod install

# Open workspace

open Penc.xcworkspace

```
