I'm really similar. I hit a point with multiple monitors where I realized that the extra space was more of a distraction than a help. I now use a single monitor/full screen 90% of the time.
I use Contexts.app to search through all of my windows and so that task switching becomes more consistent/muscle memory-ish, which was really nice for staying in flow. I also use Spectacle so that I can easily window arrange for those times when side by side windows is useful.
- busymichael 9y agoI just downloaded Contexts.app -- I am using hyperswitch right now, but Contexts has some interesting tricks. I never have too many windows open, so I don't know if window search is necessary for me, but I like the CMD-Tab implementation on Contexts.
- jrowley 9y agoI already use Spectacle but have never heard of Contexts. Looks really handy. Thanks for the tip!
- coding123 9y agoJust downloaded Contexts - thanks - do you know if there's any way for it to cmd-tab through your Chrome tabs? It looks like it can for Safari from the screen shots.
- cjf101 9y agoI think they are just using the Ctrl-Shift-Tab and Ctrl-Tab shortcuts to browse through tabs. Those work in Chrome and Safari, so you can keep your fingers on the keyboard. I haven't found a way to use Contexts to introspect tabs (I suspect it would need some soft of browser extension to do so). The Quick Tabs extension does a pretty good job if you don't mind invoking it after you get to Chrome. It's not quite as elegant as finding windows, but it's pretty good. From anywhere at all: Contexts: Hold Fn, type "Chr" Chrome: Cmd-E Quick Tabs: Type tab name, Enter
