PopClip-Extensions VS alt-tab-macos

Its menu appears appears when you double click text. You can download other people’s extensions &/or adapt them https://pilotmoon.com/popclip/extensions/

Popclip is a very popular application among macOS users that allows us to install small addons that are activated by selecting a text. It has plugins for the main search engines, but it is easy to create one personal for SearXNG. After downloading Popclip on the Mac we install PopMaker. Filling in the data is trivial.

It’s essentially a customizable pop up menu that appears near your cursor. Options range from copy/paste to translate. Here is a list of available extensions.

This doesn't replicate your exact request, but I use PopClip (https://pilotmoon.com/popclip) to handle a similar mouse-based copy/paste usecase, plus a number of others via extensions (https://pilotmoon.com/popclip/extensions). I recently switched upgraded my mac and it was one of the first things I installed.

Similar to PopClip on macOS. Like the contextual menu on iOS and Android but in this case, you can add extensions allowing you to do everything from the simple copy/paste to formatting text/list, send the text to OneNote, translation etc:

> - Can't tab cycle through minimized windows

> - Windowing system sucks compared to Windows

I use AltTab [0] for this. I find using a mac without it horrendous.

I know of this app which allows you to port that functionality: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/

Disclaimer: I have never used it, one of my colleagues mentioned it a while ago.

If you're using a Mac, I really recommend alt-tab https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app/.

I love cmd+tab on a mac to switch between applications, but I was missing a feature to switch between windows of the same application. Alt+tab solves that in the same manner Windows does.

I know this isn’t the point of your post, but in case it helps your experience in MacOS:

1. You can change the setting so that workspaces do not change their position/order. See: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/214348/how-to-prev...

2. The third party app “alt-tab” provides an alt tab experience that is much better than the native one, and is likely more similar to the behavior you expect from Linux. See: https://alt-tab-macos.netlify.app

I also personally like to use Rectangle for window positioning using keyboard shortcuts, tried the various auto tiling solutions like yabai and amethyst in the past but I think the flexibility of Rectangle is worth having to remember and use a few keyboard shortcuts.

I think it’s unfortunate that so many third party apps are required, but with a bit of babysitting MacOS can be pretty decent to work with.

AltTab MacOS app

There's likely a delay so that you can use Alt-Tab to quickly go back to your last window without the pop-up showing. I use AltTab on macOS like this, which has a configurable delay.
