Miss windows?
1 project | /r/MacOS | 17 Nov 2022

Most everything that's hard to get used to has a third-party solution. I personally missed Windows™ windows management and the taskbar/window previews the most. I use DockAltTab and these applescripts with BetterTouchTool for this. What features do you most miss?
This is dumb

I made some applescripts to change the default minimize / close window behavior to make it more like Windows (mostly to change window cycling, but it also prevents this behavior too). They requires using BetterTouchTool (to bind to the red/green window buttons) and a custom AltTab mod that receives apple events.
Any MacOS advice for developers?

If you use BetterTouchTool, I also made some applescripts that let you click dock icons while holding shift / command to make a new window/cycle windows for that app. And scripts that change the default close / minimize window behavior.
Does Stage Manage look like a terrible use of screen realestate to anyone else, or it it just me?

And all the taskbar / window management behavior that're missing (that I'm aware of) can be achieved via applescript and BetterTouchTool: - command + clicking (dock icons) to cycle windows - shift + clicking (dock icons) to open new window - replacing shortcuts cmd+w / cmd+m to cycle like on Windows™ (ie: after closing/minimizing a window, focus is on the next topmost window, and prevents pulling forward the next window from the same app (unless it is the topmost window))
