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
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.

Alternatives to Karabiner?
That, combined with skhd (for script hotkeys) and my rcmd app (for app switching) gave me a much better solution than the hard to edit config I had in Karabiner.

In your opinion, what is the best one-time (non-recurring) purchase Mac App?
Yes. Free and open source. Here. But you can support the developer by getting it from the Mac App Store. It's worth it the price.

Power User's Guide to the Galaxy
With Alfred you can do almost anything efficiently. Personally, I did get its powerpack to get all of Alfred's features; clipboard history and much more. Though when it comes to clipboard history there's a free alternative: Maccy. Back to Alfred - Alfred can also create workflows that allows you to control apps, make snippets and queries directly to websites that you can customize. Watch this video to learn more.

Maccy 0.26
Maccy - an open source clipboard manager that I develop got a new version 0.26 yesterday that I'm excited about. The whole changelog is in GitHub and some of the new features are making it a way more powerful tool that needs a bit more explanation, so I've decided to write this post, though I'm not sure if Reddit is the best place for this.

Whats your opinion on Maccy app for MacOS?
Maccy is an open source app, so you can inspect the source code to make sure there is nothing malicious there - https://github.com/p0deje/Maccy. It's also fully sandboxed and doesn't allow outgoing communication so the data it stores never leaves your computer. All the data lives in $HOME/Library/Containers/org.p0deje.Maccy/.
