positioning 2 (Safari) webpages, after macro

[OmarKN]

Hi and good day,

How can I position 2 (Safari) webpages, LEFT and the other RIGHT after my ALFRED OPEN URL macro, where I call 2 urls,

and I want them side by side.

 

I guess it could also be done with an AppleScript positioner script after launching the pages?!

To clarify, are you wanting to open two Safari windows, each on one half of the screen?

[OmarKN]

Yes, exactly -  two Safari windows, each on one half of the screen!

And how are you introducing the two URLs? Are you giving them to a Keyword (say, by separating them with commas), or are they always the same?

[OmarKN]

They are 2 static urls, no keywords.

The Alfred macro (hotkey trigger) opens first url1 in Safari, then it opens url2 in a new tab.

 

The intent is to have them side-by-side.

 

Maybe it would be enough to have 1 command of some sorts, so as to open url2 in a new Safari *window* and positioning it to the right half of the desktop.

 

I have this script, but with Safari Tabs I don't know:

 

tell application "Safari" to set bounds of front window to {150, 25, 1368, 1299}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

With best regards,
Omar KN

Here's a script that accepts one or more URLs as command-line arguments, and opens windows for each one, evenly distributed across the screen:

 

var safari = Application('Safari');

function screenSize() {
  return Application('Finder').desktop.window.bounds();
}

function openWin(url, bounds) {
  var doc = safari.Document().make();
  doc.url = url;
  var win = safari.windows[0];
  win.bounds = bounds;
}

function run(urls) {
  var bounds = screenSize(),
    height = bounds.height,
    width = bounds.width / urls.length;

  var x = 0,
    y = 0;

  urls.forEach(function(url) {
    var bounds = {'x': x, 'y': y, 'width': width, 'height': height};
    openWin(url, bounds);
    x += width;
  });
  safari.activate();
}

So if you saved the script as browsers.js, you could use it in a Run Script action (Language = /bin/zsh) like this:

urls=("https://www.example.com")
urls+=("https://www.othersite.com")
urls+=("https://www.someplace.com")

/usr/bin/osascript -l JavaScript browsers.js $urls
