granted VS phoenix

You're going to love https://granted.dev. It can be extended further, as we've done internally: https://www.duckbillgroup.com/blog/overhauling-aws-account-a...

Like most problems I started with the typical search for AWS SSO CLI and console related tools to help out. One of the write-ups that stood out for me was from Corey Quinn - taking aws logins for granted (fun fact: the title of this article was almost identical without me even noticing, you win this round Corey). The article really hit home the problems I was having and suggested the use of Granted (github link) (Granted.dev has some nice info).

https://granted.dev uses FF containers. You can auth via CLI and then log into all of your accounts in separate container tabs

If you’re using multiple accounts, https://granted.dev/ is an awesome tool to federate into multiple accounts on the same browser at the same time.

Here’s how Granted CLI works. Run the assume command in your terminal and pick which AWS profile to sign in to (in my case, testing):

https://granted.dev/ can make this a lot easier.

When I was annoyed with this I went ahead and downloaded phoenix (https://github.com/kasper/phoenix) wrote a little javascript and now I have a bunch of globally accessable hotkeys so I can lay my windows out in a number of combinations. Right now I have setups for over/under left/right, two by two grid, and three by three grid.

I've got some plans to spend some time enabling more arbitrary grids and subgrids but I haven't gotten to it yet.

This let’s you have complete control over tiling.

I have used phoenix for some functionality in the general area https://github.com/kasper/phoenix

Actually, if you're interested at all, I just, after literally months of reading about this, found a pretty sick solution.

Have you ever heard of Phoenix? https://github.com/kasper/phoenix/. Despite googling around for this exact topic, with 3.8k stars I had never heard of it. Apparently someone has created slim, JS scriptable interface that is basically tailor made toward creating your own tiling WM. I just installed it and loaded one of the examples: https://github.com/nik3daz/spin2win. And what it does is basically ignores the built-in spaces and creates truly virtual desktops by just hiding and resizing windows. And it works pretty well. The response time between switching "desktops" is basically instant.

Phoenix - Window and App Management

Get a window tiler. At the very least, you'll want one that can maximize (not fullscreen) and split windows in different configurations. Some options here are Rectangle, BetterTouchTool, or Phoenix if you like to tweak and customize.

I like Phoenix, since you can program it exactly to your needs in any flavor of JavaScript.
