I'm reluctant to try this -- my experience with other attempts to try out tiling window managers on MacOS is that the just don't play nice. Windows get repositioned by normal interactions and the window manager is not able to wrangle them, and connecting external monitors is a disaster, and you end up with a situation where windows are overlapping in odd ways but you can't move them out of the way because the window manager is trying to manage them.
Does anyone have experience with this particular one and does it resolve these sorts of issues?

- nbobko 2y agoHi, AeroSpace author speaking :) > Windows get repositioned by normal interactions and the window manager is not able to wrangle them I'm certainly biased, but no, I don't face issues like that > and connecting external monitors is a disaster Connecting and disconnecting external monitors is an important use case for me as well. I dedicated my time to support specifically this case, so hopefully it works correctly for other users as well
- mrgaro 2y agoI'm a long time Amethyst user, but going to try AeroSpace out! Based on the documentation the toml syntax is stretched quite a bit to implement some logic and callbacks. Have you considered some scripting language to make it easier to do, or is the need for this kind of advanced use so little that it's not really a problem?
- nbobko 2y agoWhen I started the project, I kept it simple, so I started with the static config The complexity of the config has grown since then, with the bigest (and, actually, the only) problem being on-window-detected callback as you mentioned. I've been thinking about using a scripting language like Lua, but I haven't made my mind yet whether it's worth it
