Poor training? Or could it, perhaps, be a conscious desire to be at least semi-modal? Unless I have physically separate screens, I much prefer to have a single, maximized application going on onscreen almost all of the time. That doesn't mean I want only one application running, but that I generally only want one occupying my attention at any given moment. (The very existence of "distraction-free writing" applications makes me believe I'm not alone here.)
- dllthomas 12y agoDo you use a tiling WM?
- stan_rogers 12y agoName it, I've used it. I prefer full-screen, one-task-at-a-time if I can have it, no matter what you may like. Neither side is wrong (or doing it wrong). I just don't want the stuff I'm not using right now to be there. Period.
- dllthomas 12y agoWell, you're wrong in that you seem to think I was trying to convince you of something. I was just curious as to your setup, since my habits run similar. Personally, I use ratpoison, typically with one window full-screen.
- stan_rogers 12y agoMany, many years (just about 30 of them, in fact) of people telling me I really, really want tiled or overlapping windows despite my protestations have conditioned me to expect it.
- dllthomas 12y agoUnderstood - but you've still not addressed my question :-P What's your setup like?
