Spectacle doesn't even come close to i3.
The biggest deal breaker is that you can't programmatically move a window to a new workspace (I think?); and that you can't disable the animations for switching workspaces (biggest problem).
- ukj 7y agoIs it a case where perfect is the enemy of good enough? I've never felt the need to move anything programatically e.g automatically without it being triggered by my intention. Spectacle has "next/previous display" shortcut. To disable animations on workspace switching: defaults write com.apple.dock workspaces-swoosh-animation-off -bool YES && killall Dock
- xrisk 7y agoThat command didn't work; and "reduce motion" from Accessibility still produces an annoying fade animation.
- WildGreenLeave 7y agoThat command doesn't work anymore since a few versions back of OSX. As far as I know there is no way to fully disable the animation and I hate it!
- least 7y agoI would suggest checking out Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) which is functionally similar to bspwm and allows quick switching workspaces (no animation or fade) and throwing windows to different workspaces or monitors.
