I have been using Windows for development, and my wsl is stuck. I just want to join a new company and plan to apply for a mac.
Who introduces the tips of window management.
# # # The expected usage scenarios of mac are as follows
1. It is possible to open several vscode windows
2. Mainly do the back-end, occasionally the front-end, so there is no strong demand for opening the browser and watching changes at the same time
3. The mac should close the lid and connect an external single monitor
4. Want to try to give up the mouse

Anonymous10365 Apr 3, 2025I also switched from windows to mac, currently using alttab + Rectangle The operation logic of alttab is similar to the logic of win's switching program, and it also supports customization. I now have two sets of shortcut keys. alt + tab switches directly in all windows, and alt + ` switches in different windows of the same program. The latter shortcut key is more used. In the case of opening multiple vscodes, when you press this shortcut key in one of the windows, only all vscode windows will appear, and then switch among these windows. Rectangle is a screen window allocation software. There are shortcut keys that can directly put the window in any position on the screen in any proportion. It is also convenient to use after being familiar with the shortcut keys, and it is also easy to use under multiple screens

Anonymous10368 Apr 3, 2025The trick is to abandon Mac shortcuts and use Hammerspoon to manage windows I'm dual screen, and Mac's new window default opening location is confusing. If you don't use the mouse, dragging and dropping the touchpad to cut the window is very annoying. So Hammerspoon made a shortcut key to quickly cut the window on the two screens just needed. What comes with the Mac is that you can maximize code, notes and other software, and then switch by the touchpad. This is quite easy to use. But aren't your needs conflicting? You are going to close the lid and give up the mouse, so how are you going to control the computer? Keyboard-only? Isn't this a lot of idle...

When you need to drag, pay attention to the acceleration of the mouse. If you move fast, you can slide a long distance, and if you move slowly, you can close to stopping, so that your fingers can drag any distance without leaving the touchpad.

Anonymous10372 Apr 3, 2025My Magic Control touchpad doesn't feel like I use many shortcut keys to switch windows. Like command + tab and command + ~ are the most used. The former is used for different software windows. The latter is for different windows of the same software. Easy to use
