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? :)

macOS 13.5 no longer allows setting system wide ulimits
A large number of extremely talented engineers might beg to differ. Everything you listed as an issue has a solution. Like any operating system, you have to spend the time to learn the intricacies of how it works and to customize it to your liking. For me, must haves are Alfred to replace spotlight, my dotfiles which change a ton of defaults in various apps like finder, the dock, etc, setup key repeat, iterm2 colors and profile, etc. divvy and magnet for window management. Caffeine to prevent sleep. Stats open source menu monitors to replace istatmenus
I’m sure there are newer equivalents to what I’ve listed. I’ve been using those programs for years.

Just got MBP M1 Pro. Any tips for me?
I guess the awesome Mac list is a solid place to start generally speaking, since there are a lot of apps of all kinds of use cases in there. Personally, I especially love - Raycast (replacement for spotlight, check out Alfred as well) - Bartender (to tidy up the menu bar) - AltTab (gives you a Windows like app switcher) - Rectangle (windows like window management) - purepaste (let’s you paste text without formatting)
