It's 2023 and Apple is a trillion dollar company, and they still don't have window snapping/tiling in OSX. I don't have anything positive to say about their OS lol.

Lemme get this straight. Microsoft successfully got a patent for a feature that KDE had before Windows did?

They’ve had it for a while

[-] The_Mixer_Dude@lemmus.org 3 points 1 year ago

I was missing the KDE style drag/resize windows with modifier keys, then I found https://penc.app that kinda fills that void

it also does snapping and auto 50% with trackpad gesture

The first thing I do with a new Mac is install Better Touch Tool UI. It's mandatory software for Mac as far as I'm concerned.

Rectangle Pro for me, 100%. I bought the paid version too as I loved it.

I like my windows organized and macOS has this penchant for chaos. Windoze at least has FancyZones in PowerToys which is chef's kiss perfectly done, and I can't live without it.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

I haven't heard of those programs, but BetterTouchTool also adds window snapping and tiling, and let's you create custom keybinds and macros, so you can do completely unheard of stuff like use a normal mouse (gasp!). It sounds like your programs are just different variants of the same thing. Right?

MacOS, or the joy of paying extra for shit that should be included OOTB, especially in an OS that every user profusely advertises as "just works", "intuitive", etc

BS

I feel like the full screen tiling on mac makes up for this. Having used both windows and Mac a lot I think I slightly prefer Mac's way of splitting full screen windows but I see the appeal of both

[-] TheGreenGolem@lemm.ee 14 points 1 year ago

I had to use MacOS for 2 years after using Windows for 20. The copious amounts of energy suddenly releasing when thousands of dying stars start to explode in unison can't compare to the deep, burning hate I feel for MacOS.

But I know there are people who like or love it. No problem with that. It's just a personal feeling.

[-] Windows2000Srv@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago

You do you, but I just hate MacOS way of tilling. When I'm tilling windows I'm generally multi-tasking and I need my dock to look at a third window from time to time. Having it in full screen renders this impossible and the animation for switching is sooooooooo slooooooow😅

[-] happyhippo@feddit.it 1 points 1 year ago

I'm not even sure full screen tiling can be called tiling at all.

I mean, I'm never gonna tile my kitchen floor with one GIANT tile.

Technically that's still tiling, but it completely misses the point lol

[-] sweeny@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Lol you tile your desktop as much as your kitchen floor? I only tend to need to have three things up at most so Mac optimizes my screen space the best since I have 2 monitors, but I'm not on on the multitasking level of many people here it seems

*I think mac os started supporting tiling of non full screen windows as well according to some other comments so maybe kitchen style would work now
