I use MacOS for development, and I too was used to a tiling wm on linux. Yabai[1] as a wm and skhd[2] were totally necessary. It's a bit of a pain to install, but once it's set up it's been completely frictionless for me.

- cauthon 4y agoHow do these compare to Rectangle?
- jpcrs 4y agoIn my experience, Rectangle is just an app to organize apps like Windows does, hotkeys to move somewhere. Yabai is a more complete windows manager. It has some features like: - Automatic Tiling, Stack or Floating windows - Shortcuts to move between windows based on position (like other tiling wms) - Create, move and destroy workspaces - Move apps to specific workspaces - Windows borders Plus it integrates really well with https://github.com/Jean-Tinland/simple-bar https://github.com/Jean-Tinland/simple-bar
- llimllib 4y agodisabling SIP is a non-starter for me, I use Amethyst[1] and it's simple and Fine Enough For Me™ [1]: https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/ https://github.com/ianyh/Amethyst/
- edejong 4y agoI’m using it too, but it is very unreliable. I need to restart the program often once a day.
- jpcrs 4y agoI also choose to not disable SIP. The only thing that I miss is being able to disable animations, besides that I'm using it just fine, not as good as i3 but good enough for me.
- llimllib 4y agothe one actual thing that slays me about OS X is the workspace switch delay. Everything else is on the range from bad-but-tolerable to great, if I could just disable that one thing I'd love it so much more
