I can't seem to figure out how to construct a Smart magnify event any way other than capturing a "real" one, using hs.eventtap.event:asData() to get its data and constructing a new one from the data with hs.eventtap.event.newEventFromData.

I've tried

  • creating a newEvent, setting its type, location (& timestamp) and posting it, which does nothing
  • creating a newMouseEvent, which throws an error since it doesn't recognize the Smart magnify type
  • creating a newGesture, which also doesn't recognize it

The way I have it now is keeping the base64 encoded data from a captured event hardcoded in my config, using hs.eventtap.event.newEventFromData to construct a working event, modifying its location and then posting it. This does work but of course is far from optimal.

Is there anything I am missing or is it not supported to construct Smart magnify events?

Ummm... I think "smart magnify" would probably need to be added to hs.eventtap.event.newGesture, as it currently only supports magnify.

@asmagill might have a better explanation?

For future reference, this is how I trigger new gestures:
