I’ve received a lot of great feedback on improving Warp and I’m doing my best to make improvements based on the feedback. One feature that didn’t make it into 1.0.1 is click-to-warp, but I hope to get that working for the next version.

Some users have reported issues with being unable to switch spaces with command-tab or by clicking on applications in the Dock. As far as I can tell, this issue seems to be a bug in the system itself, although Warp may be helping to trigger the bug. There have been a few threads on Apple’s discussion boards regarding this issue, and some users there have suggested restarting the Dock through the Activity Monitor or with the Terminal. I’m hoping that a future system update will resolve this problem, but I’m continuing to monitor the issue.

Changes from Warp 1.0:

• Greatly improved handling of multiple monitors
• Warp now works when dragging items
• Warp ignores input when Time Machine is active
• Areas where hot corners would be are now ignored
• Reduced chance of accidentally warping more than one space at a time
• Added option to wrap around spaces
• Added option to ignore edges with the Dock and menubar
• Added French localization (thanks to Ronald Leroux)
• Added Italian localization (thanks to Claudio/CreativeShield)

Leopard’s keyboard-centric approach to switching spaces has been a bit of an annoyance to me at times and I’ve always liked Xfce’s (and probably other X11 window managers) method of switching virtual desktops by moving the mouse, so I came up with a similar solution that makes it possible to switch spaces with just the mouse. Warp is activated just by moving the cursor to the edge of the screen by default, but there are also options for an activation delay and modifier keys in order to minimize accidental switching. Personally, I find it easier to move my mouse to the edge of the screen while holding the command key rather than reaching for a key combination.

Warp is free, but donations are welcomed and appreciated!
