Dude, you're missing out. I love using a four-finger swipe on the magic trackpad to quickly jump my side monitor between various spaces: my full screen code editor, a space with two web browser windows (typically showing monitoring tools), and a black screen.
> even at 1440p, the code window gets crowded
I loathe customisation, preferring everything to be as generic and standard as possible, but one thing I have done for my own sanity is assign F16–F19 to hiding and showing sidebars in all the various apps which have them. Typically F16 for left bars, F18 for bottom bars, F19 for right bars.
- tomc1985 6y agoI've never been a big fan of virtual screens. I'm always losing track of what is where, and why do I need all that anyway when there's the taskbar (on Windows) or dock (on Mac)? I know the shortcuts on mac and I don't even use them. alt+tab on Windows and Command-Up on mac are the habits I've been able to remember
- sjwright 6y agoI agree, traditional virtual screens are a horrible usability nightmare. Wouldn't ever use it on my main screen. But on a secondary monitor that is used for a narrow set of specific tasks, it's a brilliant way to jump between stuff. Think of it like Cmd-Tab for your side monitor.
