licecap VS alt-tab-macos

All the '.gif videos' are made with LICEcap

p.s. This is a gif recorded at 60FPS using LICEcap. It's free. Get it, use it, love it.

LiceCAP - crappy name, but lets you record great animated gifs, and mouse-clicks and set the framerate at will. great for sending "this is what happens when i click on something" type reports to people.

LICEcap is a free program for creating an animated GIF, this program can be found here https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ It is very simple and useful, you can set the frame rate and the size very easily. The frame rate I use is 3-4 frames per second and manually count to 4 seconds. This will usually give around 12-16 frames (depending how much animation there is on the product).

LiceCap https://www.cockos.com/licecap/ is a great tool for screen recording demos straight to gifs

Communicate using video often - a problem discussed in a conversation needs context. Today, sharing motion capture has become effortless. Why not cut a gif or movie of the observation sooner? Since I've used gif creation, it has helped me cast a broader net to solve my problems faster.

Yep, all 12GB of it. I post a lot of mini screencasts that I made with Licecap[0]. Some GIFs can be as big as 30MB

Checkout: https://github.com/lwouis/alt-tab-macos solved most of my pains with it.

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.
