I always use SizeUp tool to split my window to right side or left side. Because when I working I need to check some program info and programming together.
In additional, I also hope to be able to customize a fixed window size to take screenshots, so that it is more convenient to write notes, and it will not be adjusted because the picture is too large or too small.
I think AppleScript can help, but I am still finding a way to automatically adjust the topmost window (activated). After all, the method I have found so far can only be adjusted by specifying a specific app.
The details you can refer the following code.
Set the bounds in Window Attribute
We need to set the following 4 attributes.
- x: The x position when app startup
- y: The x position when app startup
- width: The width of app
- height: The height of app
(Note: Be careful not to use keywords as variable names)
Suppose we want to resize the Finder window:
set X to 0
set Y to 0
set appWidth to 1200
set appHeight to 1000
tell application "Finder"
activate
reopen
set the bounds of the first window to {X, Y, appWidth, appHeight}
end tell
Output:

This allows us to arbitrarily adjust the window size of the application.
