dwm VS dwm

I hope this discussion can help

I switched to Vim a little above a year ago. It is a keyboard-driven text editor. You can't open it and just start typing like notepad, you open it then you have to press a command to start typing—i or a are the most simple. When you are done typing, you press escape to leave insert ("text-editing") mode and go back into visual ("navigation") mode. You then write changes and close the editor with ZZ. Now, a few months before I started using my new keyboard, I started using a tiling Window Manager—dwm—which allowed me to do most of my window management and navigation with the keyboard alone.

Now I had to get a “GUI” up and running. I had used KDE and GNOME on my old laptop before but I wanted to try something called a tiling window manager. If you didn’t know, tiling window managers basically automatically resize windows based on available space, so instead of having a bunch of windows overlapping each other like macOS or Windows, all of them are on the screen and visible to the user. For this, I was going to use a tiling window manager called dwm .

I'm coming from https://dwm.suckless.org/ so I am very confused by the MacOS window manager. I know I can Control+{1..9} to move between Desktop workspaces, but that stops working if I full screen an Application? So how do people quickly move between a terminal and a certain browser profile? Bonus: How do remove that slow transition animation?

To see properly implemented dynamic master-stack tiling, see the x window manager dwm or the wayland compositor river.

You can also check out DWM (X11) written in 2000 SLOC, so should be easy to understand.

People should be scared of editing source code. That keeps Noobs and people with jobs away

I work mostly with full screen windows, or Monocle mode as dwm and the like call it. The trackpad makes it very easy to swipe between spaces and I keep things in a defined order so no matter what app I'm currently using I can quickly get to any other app.
