If you are on chrome, and you have two vscode windows, you need to use CMD-tab to switch to VsCode, then see which one you got, if it's not the one you wanted, use CMD+backtick to switch to the other. Using the mouse is much much slowe

Using mouse is both slower, and needs more mental process to do the same task. Especially if you need to switch repeatedly while doing something, you come up with a short-term muscle memory: use vscode, alt-tab to the other vscode, alt-tab-

Interesting. Can you elaborate on why CMD is more productive than Ctrl? On windows, usually it's easy to guess what modifier would be assigned to a task. But on Mac, I only need to use memory. In vscode (well that's not an Apple p

I should say a lot of that is because of the fundamental assumption that multiple instances of an app are related to each other in multitasking. If I have vscode in my external monitor, plus two Firefox instances one in internal and one in

I use Linux as my main OS for some years now, but use Mac and Windows, mostly because I need to test my software on them, but I have to say: I totally agree. Windows is the only practical desktop OS for most people. Mac is not an OS you can

Unfortunately, when dealing with an authoritarian government, there is not much that can be done. In Iran, the government invests heavily on censorship infrastructure. The country's entire internet traffic passes through an organizatio
