Yabai – A tiling window manager for macOS
They may be referring to stackline https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline
I've used it in the past, it was very aesthetically pleasing but did not work consistently enough for me to use day to day.

yabai scripting
Add in hammerspoon and stackline and you can have icons or little blobs as indicators for your stacks.

AltTab – Windows alt-tab on macOS
Oh yeah, Hammerspoon is a much better alternative to AutoHotkey, how could I forget about it.
It can even create simple and quite useful UIs, here’s an example of someone using it to create a stack visualizer for the yabai window manager: https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1683979/90967233-0...

pretty-fold.nvim - plugin to easily create fancy foldtext and preview folded region in floating window
Amazing, thank you! I've searched for something like this before and found out an interesting github issue: [off-topic] How to make vim folding minimal and cute like in the readme gif . Maybe it could give you more ideas for enhancing your plugin.
- macOS equivalent to tidy tabs?

Groupy For Windows Mac Alternativesimilar Seeking
Yabai actually has stacking! Although there’s no visual cue without Stackline. There’s also documentation of the Yabai commands on that repos wiki. Haven’t used either but hope it helps you :)

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.
