Mac Mouse Fix: Do the things you do on a trackpad. Without a trackpad
Looks like it's Open Source too (GPL2): https://github.com/archagon/sensible-side-buttons
Hasn't had a commit in 6 years though. :/

I Use My Mouse
On macOS, I use SensibleSideButtons to map my Logitech mouse side buttons to Swipe Right and Swipe Left. This works as a generic Forwards/Back in lots of places: Safari, Firefox, Finder, iTerm2.
Unfortunately the app appears to be abandoned (no Apple Silicon builds), but if there's interest I will resurrect it.

Mac Users: Aside from Abobe, what software and utilities do you find essential?
Sensible Side Buttons turns the side buttons on a normal mouse into forward/back page buttons.

About to set up my 16" MBP as my main computer! Any suggested applications/tools/settings to make the most out of the general use of the MBP? Mainly, I’ll be editing 4K video for serious usage. This computer is a dream come true! I can finally improve my workflow from an older (2017) Windows desktop
SensibleSideButtons (free) — again if you have a mouse with side buttons this will hook them up to back/forward

Winter setup
Out of the box, the scrolling felt quite off, even with Logitech’s new beta s/w. I found that the smooth scroll would also stop working from time to time which can get quite frustrating. Luckily there’s a bunch of great indie s/w like Mos, SteerMouse, Mac Mouse Fix, and Sensible Side Buttons that path some of the shortcomings.

Who is the MacOS for?
External mice work just fine up to 3 buttons and a scroll wheel. Beyond that you need to either have a mouse with a Mac-specific driver or use SensibleSideButtons (https://sensible-side-buttons.archagon.net/). I strongly recommend Logitech MX Master 3, it works great on macOS, Windows and Linux. The former two have first part support, the latter through Solaar.

Mouse where the side buttons actually work on M1 Macs?
I use this little app to have the side buttons work in browser and Finder.

My MacBook setup (the 2024 version)
It exists! Check out [yabai](https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai), which is nicely paired with [skhd](https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd).

Ask HN: Best Hacks for a Ultrawide Monitor?
I have a 49 inch CRG9 and the best recommendation for window management is Yabai (https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai) along with skhd (https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd). Yabai is a greedy window management solution that tries to fit opened applications in given space and skhd let's you easily jump between those using keyboard shortcuts. This has massively improved my ultrawide experience.
Only disclaimer is, configuring yabai has a slight learning curve.

Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
Completely agree. It has its faults; but paired with skhd [1] it makes the mac usable for me.
I want to echo this as well. I use a 2nd tool to help me add additional i3-like keyboard shortcuts as well (I have the ability to "stack" windows with Alt-S and rotate through them with Alt-J and Alt-K).
It's called skhd https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd
I forgot where the script for the stacking is. I can look that up separately, but I'm on mobile atm.

App Switcher on MAC
Try rcmd or skhd.

i3 Linux -> macOS
What I've done is configure yabai and skhd in a way that somewhat mimics my i3 setup (dotfiles in case it helps) with the help of Karabiner-Elements since Apple wouldn't recognize my keyboard layout properly (or at all...).
- Ask HN: I've run Linux for 13 years. Is it time to switch to a Mac?

Keyboard tricks from a macOS app dev
I use NixOS+GNOME+pop-shell for tiling windows on Linux, and I love it!
I am quite frequently on MacOS, and I use Yabai[0] and skhd[1], managed with Nix-Darwin for tiling windows and custom keyboard shortcuts. With how I make my Linux and MacOS builds look and feel identical it's pretty easy for me to forget when I'm on one vs the other.
For anyone curious, here's my repository for deploying my configs[3]. It's awesome to have one source of truth for managing NixOS servers and workstations, MacOS workstations, and other Linux workstations with Nix installed.

Recommendation for an app to execute a workflow with some hotkey !
I personally use skhd for binding hotkeys to multiple terminal commands. BetterTouchTool can also chain multiple commands, but I find it harder to edit than in an UI, depends on what you're comfortable with.
