To not continue to spam another conversation, but since it came up recently:

I have done my best to make #macos act like a tiling wm like #dwm #sway or #i3

To accommodate this I have installed Amethyst which automatically tiles in a similar way to i3 (there are various options but the one I use has a main window on the left half of the screen and subsequent windows stack on the right half of the screen.)

I changed keyboard shortcuts (primarily in Amethyst, but somewhat in macOS settings) similar to i3 with things like cmd+1-6 to change desktops, and shift+opt+1-6 to throw the active window to a desktop. (The hardest part of this was setting all the keyboard shortcuts.)

Then I just found whichspace which is an app that can show you which desktop you are currently viewing in a menubar icon (it can even show you all desktops with the currently viewed highlighted.)

I like how the whichspace dev says in the repo “an app that nobody was asking for.”

Me.

I was asking for it.

Thank you

I've just switched my work Linux wm to dwm. It took me from 08:53 to 08:56. Including the compilation. Noice.

#dwm

Another day, another slop replacement. Just switched from i3wm to dwm. Couldn't find anything slop related in their repository.

And I love the simplicity and the compile-your-own wm mentality. Any change to the style is just a change in a header file, followed by a re-compilation. Pretty cool so far 

#dwm #i3wm #FckLLMs #FckAI

New post wherein I share my tribulations with DWM and NetBSD!
