How is your experience with Yabai ? I just read about it but reluctant to try it . How stable is it ? Can we switch spaces with it ?
It's perfectly stable, but I didn't see it do anything that Amethyst can't do, and yabai requires you to run with SIP disabled
You only need to disable SIP if you want features that require it like window opacity/stickyness/...
For better or worse, I find GUI git clients to be less useful than the CLI. But like any CLI tool, it's productivity is limited by your ability to type without errors. Git has an Autocorrect[1] that will help you out. > git config --global help.autocorrect 1 Based on bash history data, I've also added a simple alias to my bash config: > alias gti="git" [1]: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configura…

- keeping all your configuration files (“dotfiles”: shell, git, etc) in one, version controlled place. Makes setting up new machines so much less stressful.

Alfred has a clipboard manager built in, what does Paste offer over it that justifies its fee for you?

> 1) Any terminal that you can summon/dismiss with a global hotkey. Examples are Guake for Linux and iTerm2 for OSX. I consider this a must-have for all developers. Years ago I saw someone using this (I think it was actually Yakuake) and ran it for a bit. I really didn't like that it was a single session. However, I later messed around with tiling window managers (which relates to your #2!) and having a shortcut to p…
when you summon the terminal do you first then need to `cd` into the directory you need?
While using i3, you can also place a terminal in the scratchpad, which works more similarly to Yakuake.
The golden recipe: neovim, tmux, rg, fzf, i3/other tiling wm on nixos/arch Fzf all you can, not just inside vim, but also use it to switch between tmux sessions in an instant. I have a tmux manager on top of tmuxp that is able to start / switch to already started sessions via fzf. Identify patterns you use a lot and make snippets out of them. Create project templates.

Can you access your todo system from your phone? I'm always torn on this, and why I keep my todos in google keep.

Curious, what do you think of multi-cursor as a replacement for macros? (I’m on the team)
As an emacs user, I view multi-cursor as suitable for only a subset of macro usage. Macros are inspectable, editable, savable, able to be applied across files, easily used a variable N times. My typical pattern is something like: define it, try it, adjust it, then apply variable times (including “infinite until error”), maybe save 1% of them. That often takes less time to do than it just took me to describe. I use ma…
In my experience with multicursor, I don't need to be able to "inspect" the operation as the act of typing it is inspection in and of itself. Sure they aren't saveable and thus aren't editable (but you admit this is a very rare use case - I can't recall needing that, ofc you often don't know when to want what you don't have).
As for applying across a number of files, I recently added an in-editor rendering of workspace search results to VS Code, and I've created an extension that can apply edits to those search results back to the original files. This allows for performing multicursor edits across many files.
As for using variable numbers of times, this is again quite trivial with multicursor. I simply select all the instances I need (either all in one go or iteratively), and go from there. I admit there is an art to selecting the right text such that iterative selection works with a single keypress, but once you get the hang of it it becomes pretty natural. (Unless you mean "apply this N times", which again I'm not sure I've ever been in want of)
