Surfingkeys VS Amethyst

I don't mind posting it, but be aware it's not an Obsidian script, I use from the browser, using it from an extension called SurfingKeys

For the privacy-conscious interested in SK, it may be worth a read of this GH issue: https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys/issues/1796

I empathise with the author wanting to make a buck but it's hard to reconcile the approach he took with the level of trust granted to this extension.

Was this issue about the bundled search hijacker resolved in some sort of positive way? I abandoned SurfingKeys as soon as I heard about that and haven't looked at it again. It'd be nice if that was all rolled back, but I switched to Vimium and haven't found it to be particularly worse, at least not for the way that I browse the web. The only thing that I've been missing is the vim-like text editor but, for me, that's a relatively minor feature; I don't write giant comments that often.

Moved from it in favor of more features that surfingkeys provide. If you know a little bit of javascript you can conquer your browser!

Tridactyl's key feature is "native messaging".

A further alternative is https://github.com/brookhong/Surfingkeys. Its key feature is a javascript configuration - allowing you to bind arbitrary javascript to a key.

I'm using amethyst as my Window manager, and I'm feeling fine

And for the second part, we have Wins to manually drag and set the window position, and Amethyst to set it automatically.

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.

I also used Amethyst, but I think yabai is much better

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.

This can be done through third party programs such as amethyst. It's not a native feature unless I am mistakened.

`cask "amethyst"` [link][oss] for `i3` like window management

> 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.
