BetterTouchTool is $25 for a lifetime license with upgrades.
how can I do this with it?
It says it in the post: there’s an action you can map to keys for “move right a space (no animation)”.

#162Awesome! Is there a working way to do the same for Windows virtual desktops? I remember I used to do it with ViVeTool [0], but Microsoft removed the feature flag at some point. [0] https://github.com/thebookisclosed/ViVe
Turn off "Animation Effects" in Settings and it will be instantaneous.
And VsCode will not display dark mode correctly.

I mean, their damn phone keyboards are so bad I'm 100% confident that Tim only does voice to text on his phone. There's no way that the CEO of a company could use a keyboard that horrible and not want to fix it.
Most of my issues were fixed when I disabled swipe to type. Not all, but most.
In case anyone else is going crazy trying to find this setting, it’s called slide to type

I think Apple's self-image of being the epitome of design actually acts against them. Leads to monstrosities like Liquid Glass kinda vandalizing random parts of the UI in small ways that I intuitively read as "they are anti-anti-aliasing" not "they added cool refraction effects." It used to be you'd see something in a well-chosen color, now it is just a muddy kind of greyish brownish whatever. I'd like to see them ma…
My pet opinion is that Steve Jobs was an asshole but an asshole that used his own products and used his powers of complaining to steer the whole ship to fix major "this annoys me everyday" bugs. From my experience, "annoying but not blockers" bugs are often very neglected compared to (1) bugs that actually break things and (2) feature work. Neglecting quality of life issues leads to the "do you even use your product?…
This is exactly my thought as well.
Soo many things either work buggy, laggy, inconsistent, or don’t work at all
Filling bugs doesn’t help. And I don’t think anyone is inventive to fix bugs. Resolving sure. But closing WONTFIX or NEEDSINFO is also a resolution.
Most of what I do is chrome +Linux terminals and vscode anyway
And the only reason I’m on Mac is because of hardware, encryption, and ease of backup/restore/wipe, and the power struggle of Linux distros. freeBSD is not really an option

I've heard this advice before and I've tried it, and I really didn't notice a difference. I also, unfortunately, use swipe to type a lot. If I'm typing one handed I'm pretty much always using swipe. Sure it barely works, but that's the same as if I was typing normally so feels like a wash.
Keyboard works fine. Always has. iPhone just has so many users that there's going to be a plethora of passionate unpleasable nerds for every single facet of it. Even in your ideal virtual keyboard version, there was an army of people complaining that it wasn't a hardware keyboard.
No it doesn’t.
It did work fine before. But I had to swipe 3 times to get “fine” instead of “going” just now

#167Stop using MacOS spaces. Never full screen anything. Throw everything around with hotkeys using OSS rectangle. Use shortcat to automatically bring your cursor to anything on your screen and use enter to click and type.
You don’t get it Spaces are not for fullscreen but for basically virtual desktops i3 linux style Here is superior user experience: 1. Install moom. Its keyboard windows arrangement is second to none. Its two-step tiling is a killer. Ie caps-a to show a popup with all the shortcuts, then “a” letter for vertical 1/3 of the screen. Or s for middle 2/3. Or q for top left third — you can assign any letter for any portion…
This is exactly what I do -- but I have space split up by persona (Personal, work 1, work 2, Play), and then each space is managed with Moom. Love it.

Window management on macOS is just trash. 3 people from my team recently switched to macOS and they never owned a mac before and they are all complaining about window management. Do you know how dumb it makes me feel to have to tell them they need to install third party apps just to make their system somewhat usable? it's insane.
> 3 people from my team recently switched to macOS and they never owned a mac before and they are all complaining about window management. For legit reasons? Because many switchers complain for stupid reasons, like the macOS distinction between apps and windows.
Mac power user 25+ years.
Yes, it’s complete shit

Another happy aerospace here! IMO it does a great job with barely any configuration required (the default config works great, I have barely tweaked it over years of use), that said I’m not exactly power user of tiling WMs, I have one app per workspace 90% of the time
Same here. My only complaint is I wish there was a way to make apps floating by default and then you would specify which ones you want tiled. IME a lot of apps are easier to use in their default state. I really only use my web browser, text editor, and terminal in tiled mode.
You got me thinking, and this seems to work for me. I didn't test if the order of these blocks matters.

This is such an insane bug to still have around all these years. Are apple engineers not using macOS?

Why are you paying money for something that you find so terrible when there is a perfectly good alternative.
Life is too short to waste is using junk you don’t enjoy.
