Need advice for multidesktop use.
For years we'd just click on blank space of the target window or use CMD+Tab / CMD+` to work in conjunction with mouse, for more consistent behavior. But if you want the app window under your cursor to gain focus automatically, try this: https://github.com/synappser/AutoFocus

Help me find a new name for AutoRaise
Stefan Post kindly asked me yesterday to rename AutoRaise to avoid a name clash with his Autoraise.

Must Have Apps, Free or Paid -
And some window management utilities like Rectangle and my current favorites, FinderFix and AutoRaise.

Slicing Through the Layers of the Desktop
It's AutoRaise a focus-follows-mouse app. I was using Yabai for this focus-follows-mouse effect but this is miles ahead because it also extends the Desktop (watch this video to understand what is meant by this amazing workflow) and does not require SIP disabled. I can't live without it anymore. :)

Implementing acceptsFirstMouse behavior
Not exactly the solution, but you can use u/Synappser AutoRaise app to auto-focus on the window under the cursor and hit the click on first try. Link to the reddit post.

AutoRaise - A Focus-Follows-Mouse Implementation on Steroids
Oh, I like this idea! Please submit it as feature request. Thank you.
Indeed, you have different "nuances" in the focus-follows-mouse implementations. The "raise", the "focus", and the "sloppy focus". AutoRaise currently implements the "raise" behaviour. Would you be interested in other behaviours? In which case would you like to post a feature request to the issues page with your scenario? :)

It's been almost 9 months since Ventura was released. What's your thoughts about "Stage Manager"?
I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine
-
Window manager that behaves like on WindowsOS?
And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

[Serious] I don't get why people like Mac and I feel like I'm missing out
If you find the native window management lackluster (like I do), you can install a window manager like Amethyst, or yabai, veeer, or many others.

i3 Linux -> macOS
I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

Witch – macOS window switcher replacement
Amethyst is my tiling manager of choice for macOS: https://ianyh.com/amethyst/
It was a little buggy when Ventura dropped, but it gets frequent updates and has stabilized in the past few months.

How to tile (auto-fit) all open windows on the screen? Example: If you have 8 windows open, you want to auto-fit all 8 windows on the same screen. What about 3rd party apps?
This can be done through third party programs such as amethyst. It's not a native feature unless I am mistakened.

Are We Sixel Yet
> tmux helps all 3, but not particular good at either.
iTerm2 on macOS has some nice tmux integration[1]. Basically, you run a tmux session (using tmux -CC), but the actual window management on the client side is handled by iTerm2. This works pretty nicely with the tiling WM (Amethyst[2]) I use on macOS.
If anybody is aware of Wayland compositors that integrate similarly, please let me know. I'd love to be able to do the same on my linux machines.
