My macOS task/window management strategy:
- Start with windows sized full height, they stack horizontally this way instead of diagonally.
- Never resize anything unless something got messed up re-attaching a display, which is exceedingly rare. (If I’m doing web stuff I use dev tools to test responsive, the browser window stays the same width.)
- Command + tab/command + ~ do great most of the time.
- Command + ? -> type window title when I have lots of open windows in one app.
- Generally avoid moving windows unless I really need to, the above strategies work well for everything except the occasional side by side workflow.
This took a little while to hone, but it definitely doesn't feel cumbersome to me, much less enraging.
I do generally use Moom[1] when I need to resize windows, mainly because I already have a license and I’m anal about consistent sizing.
I’m sure this wouldn’t work for everybody, but I also know a lot of folks don’t know about command + ~ or using the help menu search, so it felt worth sharing.
