- edanm 5y agoThat's one of the reasons I never make windows full-screen. Except for that annoying quirk, I actually find the interface better (though it definitely took time to get used to it).
- FranksTV 5y agoI prefer windows to be full screen. Then I three-finger swipe between apps on my trackpad.
- edanm 5y agoI get that. I just use an app that lets me maximize windows with a shortcut (I use Size-up but there are many great options). I then make sure to maximize everything, so effectively all my windows are always maximized. It's not the same as fullscreen, because it still has the top mac bar, but that's fine, and it gives me the ability to cmd+tab / cmd+tilde through my windows.

But it is painful :P What's being described as "full screen" windows on macOS is not exactly that, and it's very different than full screen windows on Windows or the standard Linux window managers. On macOS, when we click on the little green button on top of a window, that window becomes full screen *and* becomes a new single-window workspace. https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-apps-in-full-screen-mchl9c21d2be/mac https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/use-apps-in-full-sc...
- rwc 5y agoYou can "Maximize" the app (to put it in Windows parlance) by Option+Click the green button (you can observe during the hover state for the green button the change from "full screen" to "maximize" by pressing Option).
