I renamed iMac name to remove special character. It is working good with this change.

Holy crap.  That java script is magic.  You guys are amazing!  Thank you for sharing.  The other script in this thread that I said was working suddenly stopped working and was giving me an error about "group 1" so I came back here and gave this javascript a try.  It looks so complicated compared to the other one but worked perfectly!  Really cool stuff.  Wish I could make stuff like that.  

 

I'm glad it it working well for you. JXA is very poorly documented by Apple and can be very confusing but, because it provides nearly direct access to the Obj-C runtime APIs, it is lightning-fast compared to traditional AppleScript. If you'd like to learn more about it, a great resource is the JXA Cookbook on GitHub.

It's good to hear you got it working. Cheers.

Note that AppleScript has an Objective-C bridge too. The syntax can be tricky to get right, but it is there. It’s one way to make it support JSON.

I wasn't aware this was still working, but that's good to know!

Figured out how to get stephancasas script to work in Alfred by replacing part of the old workflow. 

You can download it here:  https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/burdkooqcwgb0whcy5ja3/Sidecar-JS-Command-Center-Toggle-MacOS-Sonoma.zip?rlkey=ozfmzwdnbsj67b96o31bmm6o2&dl=0

@stephancasas terribly sorry for annoying you. I dont know why but i keep getting error. execution error: Error: TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating '$children[0].js[0]') (-2700).

 

Anyone knows how to solve that? Would much appreciate it!

Looks like things have changed in MacOS 15 Sequoia.  Has anyone got a script working yet?
