![]() There are other interesting features: You can activate the “focus follows mouse”, like in Kitty (or iTerm), create list of selected apps that should stay floating (or, conversely, that should always be tiled), you can configure window margins and screen padding to add extra space around each window like I did in the screenshot above.Īfter only two days of use I feel like this is the app I was looking for in combination with Kitty and my terminal-mode workflow.This appendix describes uwm, the Release 3 standard window manager, which has been moved to the user-contributed distribution in Release 4. First, the app is tiny and works right out of the box: no configuration needed, it sits in the menu bar and we can update the settings within a few mouse clicks, it has all sort of built-in layout with predefined shortcuts that are easy to grasp (the main modifier key combination is -, while Kitty uses - : this is quite handy).īelow is screenshot of the “tall layout”, with a main window on the left and everything arranged in row on the right: I reinstalled it yesterday and it completely changed my mind. I did try it a little while ago, but I found it of little help. While looking for tiling WMs available for macOS, which was quickly solved after all since there aren’t so many, I found that only Amethyst was offering a full native app. With syntax highlighting, they help catch up errors quickly, or simply aid in getting a glance at a complex command. The zsh fast-syntax-highlighting and zsh-autosuggestions plugins provide such assistance in editing commands that I wish I learned about them much earlier. ![]() He’s running OpenBSD and a tiling WM (i3 or his own WM, I don’t know), and he seems to be very partial to the idea of using monochrome themes, which does not displease me in fact, especially for writing code or prose, but I like to have colored input/output in my terminal. While browsing Joshua Stein’s website, I noticed he has some interesting screenshots of his desktop. Column view (i.e., side by side window) is almost unusable on a 12 inch monitor, and I could always get the same effect using Moom alone. Overall, I always ended up with maximized windows centered on my screen. I don’t remember exactly why I didn’t like Yabai but I think it also amount to the time I spent installing and customizing it. What I tried so far is hhtwm (too much of a hassle in terms of customization) and yabai (needs to disable SIP, as well as an additional app to manage keybindings). ![]() I usually use fullscreen mode only for mail (but I no longer use Mail app) or web browsing. This allows for quickly jumping between the apps using the app switcher ( - ), Mission Control or whatever. Up to now, I’ve been either using Emacs or a terminal spanning 2/3 of my screen, and lately maximized on screen using Moom facilities. It becomes hard to get anything useful if applications are not using 2/3 of the screen or simply in maximized or fullscreen mode when using the native display of the Macbook. At work I have a larger monitor, so tiling windows makes sense. I already talked about tiling WM for Mac last year, and during the Summer. I’ve been trying another tiling window manager for my laptop (Macbook 12 inch).
