What you use on Mac for window management? Recently switched from Linux Mint Cinnamon, default window management feels like a downgrade, maybe I’m holding it wrong?
- szopa 4y agoIt is a downgrade, but it's a conscious trade-off for me. I've been fine with that for the last 14 years. I switched to the Mac to get a mostly adequate environment that I wouldn't be tempted to hack. The thing I actually care about is navigating between windows by typing something that gets autocompleted. Spotlight or Alfred get me mostly there. In chrome I use Powerswitch to navigate between windows, and there's Cmd K for Slack. Having one interface for those would be grand, but I'm not holding my breath.

You're not holding it wrong, it's just a very primitive desktop environment. No snapping, poor external monitor support, defaults to magically moving desktops in relation to each other, etc. If you want good window management right out the box, you won't get it from MacOS.
- yakubin 4y agoTo me the most annoying thing is that when I switch to a window of an application, it moves all other windows of this application to the top as well, covering anything else I had opened, making multitasking a fool’s errand.
