That video immediately made me wish this was available for Mac, it seemed to fit my brain's model of how things should be.

#75I use Gnome and basically full-screen all my windows. Sometimes I use win+left/right to create a half-width window. Am I a caveman?

I use this too, the keybinds carry to windows which is very convenient. I get stunlocked by muscle memory when working in macos tho.

My key bindings are a little different because I use the defaults in Spectacle to do it. More than a decade like that. Program's discontinued but still works and has never given me so much as one problem this entire time, so I'm going to keep using it until it stops working.

#78Scrollable WMs are really terrific because you get about 80% of the productivity benefits of a tiling WM with 20% of the effort. I am puzzeled by the fact it took us 30-40 years to figure it out !
I'm also someone whose open browser tabs tend to grow indefinitely until I just have to bookmark and close all hundred of them or whatever, so... yeah, this entire paradigm looks extremely not for me.

#80I would like to know, coming from a traditional tiling window manager, how does the shortcut workflow look like? For me the number one thing is having fixed shortcuts á la Super+[0-9] to go to specific windows / workspaces / essentially a specific program. If I can have that, and additionally solving the "worskpace management" problem as TFA described, I'm sold! Does it make sense to use "workspaces" like this with N…
Yes, Niri still supports numbered workspaces in the same was as WMs like Sway. It's just that now you can scroll them horizontally too.
