Usage

How to run SnapTools.applescript

To run the AppleScript:

1. Open Script Editor, which comes preinstalled with each Mac.

2. Open the correct file using Script Editor.

3. Compile the Script. (button with hammer icon)

4. Enter configurations. Please check out the configuration section.

5. Compile the Script again. (button with hammer icon)

6. Press "Run the Script". (button with play icon)

7. Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility.

8. Press the lock button to make changes.

9. Allow "Script Editor" to control your computer.

   this is so the script can reconize and move your windows around the screen.

10. Re-run the Script (Step #5).

If at any time the script is not working, double check the configuration was done correctly.

After double checking, if it is still not working, tweet @DanKravec and I can do my best to help out!

Otherwise if no error has appeared, then congrats! You have got the Script Running!
