if you said for some, which ones and why?!
my follow up for all the full screen users: Is there any terminal command to remove the dock hiding delay *when in a full screen app*?
@gn This I don’t know
@gn Safari when I’m reading long articles. Writing apps. I’m easily distracted 😅
@gn Photos because it’s nice to see the images at scale when editing; premiere because the app layout needs it.
@gn Xcode. I want ALL the space. I also sometimes put the simulator in Split View with it

@gn Safari for larger websites or watching videos (same for QuickTime).
These days barely touch Adobe software but back in the day I used to fullscreen After Effects and Premiere while Photoshop or Illustrator would depending what I was working (I assume it might be due to the timeline and AE layers, never enough space).
Figma/Sketch fullscreen sometimes (depending on what I’m working).

Not sure why, lately feels nice to have a sneak peak of the desktop wallpaper so I fullscreen even less 😅

@gn Creative stuff with lots of tools: Figma, Blender, etc. Sometimes if I really need to focus while writing I'll take iA Writer or Craft fullscreen.
@gn Email, Figma (and all design apps), Slack, Safari, Apple Music. I do so because I don't want them cluttering up any other spaces, plus when I use them I am purely focused on the task at hand.
@gn Final Cut, and video playback in general.
@gn Sketch fullscreen, Mail & Slack in a split-screen space, and Calendar & Reeder in another split-screen space (on a 13” MacBook Pro)
@gn iTunes/Apple Music because I like treating it as an “appliance” that I can quickly get in and out of. At work it’s Figma. Just need all the space I can get for that and its UI doesn’t really fit in well with other Mac apps, so it better be off there to the side on its own. Teams meetings always go into full screen too, but not the main app.
@gn Full screen all the time for all the apps when I take my 13" Macbook Air out for some fresh air. On my ultrawide in the office, never.
@gn mostly the browser when I'm trying to focus on a show I'm watching or an article I'm reading.
@gn I open VS Code, Figma/Sketch corner to corner, but not a full screen, because I want to see dock and menu bar.

@gn Slack is the only one that's full screen because I don't want it participating in normal window management.

Others I have sized to use a full monitor, but I use Spaces extensively and usually group multiple windows (IDE) based on domain. So then I am only switching between a handful of spaces and then cmd+tilde between windows on those spaces. This is all on 1 monitor (my "main).

Ancillary monitors have web browsers, DB tool, postman and other reference, sometimes Netflix.

@gn Figma and Lightroom. I need all the space!
@gn I use full screen 100% of the time for Xcode, Figma and Notion. Essentially because it helps me better focus on the task at hand, maximises the visible info/workspace and reduces the amount of scrolling I need to do.
@gn only when more screen space is needed temporarily but i want to keep the original window size preserved
