It’d be cool if you could force click a window to push it backwards along the z axis

@neilsardesai you have so many cool little ideas like this, it makes me wonder what a whole OS or linux desktop environment with you on the design team would be like to use

@neilsardesai oooh I love this, I use so many haphazardly placed windows all the time

@neilsardesai Yes to this!

@neilsardesai maybe a hold + scroll to change specific z order, or entering yet another exposé/window isolation mode that lets you scroll through the window stack

or, god forbid, cover flow for active windows

@neilsardesai this feels like something that should have been implemented already; it feels so authentic too.

@neilsardesai This will be very useful UX.

@neilsardesai love this idea! Really wish force click had more use today within macOS.

@joeyabanks it’s so underutilized!

@neilsardesai The Sun keyboards used to have a dedicated key for this. I have no idea why it didn't catch on anywhere else.

@neilsardesai that's a nice idea, but imho way to slow. I use Mac os active corners for that. Moving the mouse to the top right corner shows all windows of the current space next to each other. Which is just a fast and small movement. When switching between apps across spaces I use CMS+tab

@mauricerenck there can be more than one way of doing the same thing. Also I’m deliberately clicking slowly to make it easier to see what’s happening in the screen recording

@neilsardesai sure, that's just my opinion

@neilsardesai back when iPhones had 3D Touch i really wanted the keyboard backspace button to delete text faster if pressed harder. So many possibilities🤩

@mbuss I could’ve sworn it did that!

@neilsardesai It does go faster if you hold it for longer, but that's not nearly as good 😑

@neilsardesai pretty sure mwm and fvwm could do this thirty years ago :)
