Why are windows hard to manage under macOS?

• jorts 3y ago
  It just requires an app on Mac versus windows key + arrow to move windows around. It's a non-issue.

    Requiring an app is a blocking issue.

      I usually get away just fine with Control+Command+f to fullscreen the window, and Control+Up will open up Mission Control so that I can get two fullscreened windows side-by-side. It's all built into macOS. Windows 11 adds snap layouts, for which there is currently no analog, but this will let you do the side-by-side thing from earlier versions of Windows as long as you can tolerate the fullscreened windows becoming their own Space. (I actually find this preferable myself, but YMMV.)

        The insistence that window be the only thing I need to be looking at on MacOS is also a frustrating one. No, Steve, I really do want to manage my windows.

  You need to install a 3rd party tool to switch between windows in macOS, like alt+tab provides in Windows and most linux desktops. macOS of course has cmd+tab, but that switches apps not windows.
