easy-move-resize VS Mos

Easy Move+Resize (free): comfortably move and resize application windows

I use easy move + resize to do this. https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize

Installed https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize on my mac, and https://stefansundin.github.io/altdrag/ on my PC. Make moving and resizing windows easier, and I hate maximizing/full-screening windows, as I find it's a huge waste of screen space.

only use Homebrew for ‘Casks’ (GUI .apps)— `brew cask` subcommand

Nix or pkgsrc for reliable management of CLI tools (both, if you want to try Nix but want an escape hatch)

don't forget to install GNU coreutils, grep, find, and bash. (BSD coreutils are weird and anemic if you're used to GNU. macOS bash is ancient, etc.)

disable cursor acceleration (barely works, but it's the only thing that works): https://plentycom.jp/en/cursorsense/index.html

the only mature terminal emulator on the platform that performs okay (provided you enable GPU acceleration): https://iterm2.com/

recover basic key remapping functionality: https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/

recover basic audio controls like per-app volume mixing: https://github.com/kyleneideck/BackgroundMusic

recover FUSE support: https://osxfuse.github.io/

recover configurability for a whole host of missing functionality, like global keyboard shortcuts, through automation (Lua scripting): https://www.hammerspoon.org/

recover clipboard management: https://hluk.github.io/CopyQ/

if you don't use some hack to get window tiling, you might also want to...

recover basic window management functionality: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

recover modifier key window drag: https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize

good luck.

Yes that works for CLI apps. But some small gui apps provide no updater, are not available in the app store but only provide a brew cask (e.g. https://github.com/dmarcotte/easy-move-resize).

As others have mentioned, there's quite a few options, and I use mos (https://github.com/Caldis/Mos) for no particular reason. It does the same things as any of the alternatives, I just found it first and stuck with it since.

It looks like this competes with Mos.app[0]. Honestly, I'm not sure how folks use non-magic mice without this.

Not to take away from this app, but I’ve been using Mos (https://mos.caldis.me) for a couple of years now and it’s been just enough to mitigate the faults I had with default mouse settings in macOS.

I recommend MOS to fix the scrolling issue. It also adds a sexy-as-$uck smooth scrolling animation.

You’ll need a mouse Utility to fix it. If it’s just scrolling, MOS does the job, and when you’re not gaming, gives you such a smooth scroll, it’ll feel better than sex.
