Offtopic but not really: does anyone know the minimal fix on how to remove the animation between changing "desktops" in Mac OS? I want it to be instant, no slide animation. Please and Thank you

The solutions I've read about all do a simulated super-fast swipe

This works well- you can swipe using touchpad; or use ctrl + arrow keys- free and open-source

i have this installed and its amazing! https://github.com/jurplel/InstantSpaceSwitcher

this is the way! I even configured it with a combo on my ZSA voyager and now it's just there! Also changed default keys for switching desktop (i believe i disabled it) and have InstantSpaceSwitcher take over, which means my logitech mouse can do the instant switch too; so so happy using this, wish alt tab could use it too.

looks very interesting, might give it a try. I'm currently just using Raycast WM capacity together with InstantSpaceSwitcher. For me it's always how hard it is to memorise yet another keyboard shortcut (i have a lot of them); but i'll take a look

Yeah Im using raycast as well with this setup it pairs really well.

The shortcuts I made are really close to omarchy's shortcuts, because that's what I got used to now.

I guess the most important one is super + k. It gives you an overview about all shortcuts so you don't have to guess or dig through config files.

I mean it's all subjective. The relative rigidity of the macOS UI just means that it isn't for people who don't like it. For those of us who do enjoy it, it's great because a stock install is already 80% of the way to a productive setup. I can have a new Mac ready for work in 15-20m without copying dotfiles or anything like that. Not that there isn't a place for tinkering and customizing, but it's not the computer(s)…

Ha ha ha. I did settle into using a Mac for development work, but not without a moderate degree of customisation. Reducing keyboard latency was, like you said, one of the changes that made the most difference.

I'm curious what other kinks you have had to iron.

This is my barebones bootstrap script https://gist.githubusercontent.com/agzam/bf7d4e7276d41b669c6...

that I run before I do anything else on a new machine.
