Working with yabai

[noidwasavailable]

I would feel like with karabiner's ability to send shell commands via key press combinations, we should be able to send yabai commands...

However, adding sublayers such as:

 w: {
      j: yabai("space --focus prev"),
      k: yabai("space --focus next"),
    }

where

export function yabai(command: string): LayerCommand {
  return {
    to: [
      {
        shell_command: `yabai -m ${command}`,
      },
    ],
    description: `Yabai: ${command}`,
  };
}

Doesn't really seem to work 🤔

Any idea how to go about making this happen?

I have no idea why this doesn't work, but I've fixed it by updating yabai function to this:

export function yabai(command: string): LayerCommand {
  return {
    to: [
      {
        shell_command: `/opt/homebrew/bin/yabai -m ${command}`,
      },
    ],
    description: `Yabai: ${command}`,
  };
}
