DESCRIPTION
Warp is a preference pane that allows you to use the mouse to switch between Spaces rather than using the keyboard.

Warp offers the ability to display a live preview of a space when you move the mouse to the edge of the screen, allowing you to see what you have on another space before actually switching to it. Clicking the preview will then warp you to that space. (Enable this feature by checking the option "Click screen edge to Warp" in Warp's preference pane).

Warp is available free of charge, but donations are appreciated and assist in support and development.

    EGGSHELL  It's a handy little app and it's free , it makes using spaces even more natural

    One big downside is the WarpDaemon uses almost 200MB ( with only 4 spaces ).

    RAM is cheap nowadays but that's really too much for a tiny background add-on .

    I'll keep an eye on future versions , hopefully they'll reduce drastically the memory usage

    ROBERT COOGAN  I agree! This struck me at first as kind of useless...adding a unwanted feature. But it has really gotten me hooked. I definitely recommend it.

    GHARTNESS  I don't get it. At least not from this description. Why aren't the hot corners that os x gives you just as good?

    MATIEMAN  what this does is it switches to the space next to it when you click there.

    eg. if you click on the left side of the screen, it will switch to the space to the left of the one currently active.

    FELINITY  ok, just noticed this; I only have horizontal spaces, so i'm only going left and right, not up and down. yet, when I hold my mouse at the top or bottom edge, warp still warps my cursor to the other side - obviously without switching spaces. kind of annoying.

    PIZZACAKE  The floating pager HUD makes Spaces worth using again. It's a small visual overview of all the spaces, I keep it in a corner of my screen so I know where everything is. Click on one of the boxes takes you to that space. A brilliant idea! A few minor visual bugs to be squashed but still very usable. Thank you.

    CHAWKNZ  Does what it says it does. I can easily switch Spaces by moving my mouse to edges of the screen, just like I would expect Spaces to do.

    Thanks for this.

    ASMEURER  I wish you could set a separate shortcut for the menu and dock rather than just disabling them altogether.

    ASMEURER  I also thought of another good feature idea. It would be nice if right-clicking on the previews would disable them so I don't have to go around them to do so. This way, I could have the delay time set to 0 seconds with no modifiers set without too much annoyance.

    Also, I noticed that the version number is one behind, so it thinks there is an update all the time, but the feature set clearly matches up with the current version.

    FELINITY  this is great, thank you!

    I do have a feature idea though; instead of either disabling or enabling warp on dock/menubar edges, how about making it so that it'll only switch spaces when you're not moving your mouse around on the dock/menubar. Ie, it'll only warp if you're holding the mouse still, rather than browsing the dock or menu.

    that'd be clever :)
