Do you use any tilling manager on macOS?
I'm trying yabai + skhd, but I'm not sold.

i could never get it working quite right when i was still using a Mac. but i would have loved that combination
I tried Amethyst for a few days (no, not that Amethyst). It seemed to work well but I didn’t stick with it. I have never been a tiling window manager person before and I decided I use way too many apps for a tiling window manager to make sense. Getting them into the right configuration only to switch it up a minute later seemed like too much effort.
I also felt like the windowing system on macOS doesn’t help. Closing and opening windows a lot sometimes causes apps to do unexpected things, whereas alt-tabbing keeps everything as-is. I do use https://rectangleapp.com/ heavily for quickly splitting my screen.
I'm also trying rectangle, not bad.
I think it depends a lot on the screen size. On a small screen many apps require full screen for a good usability, and terminals maybe half or a quarter of the screen.
On a large screen a tiling structure maybe can help to quickly optimize the space.
cwm has floating, tiled, and maximized. tiled is bound to meta t, maximized is meta m, cycling through windows is meta n, and p.
windows are assigned to groups (1-9) accessible with meta 1-9.
seems like with as many people as use macos, there would be something comparable.
I will try it, thanks!
AwesomeWM is great 😁
