You may find this osx tiler useful. These days I can't live without it and it's been stable for me for quite some time. https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

Did yabai ever fix native tabs totally breaking your window layout? I really want to use it, but not being able to use terminal or finder tabs with it is a tough sell.

Well I guess the answer is yes but since I never encountered that issue in the first place I wouldn't consider my opinion definitive. I did just test tabs in iTerm and Finder, both functioned just fine without any weirdness. Hope that helps!

This is why I love using emacs. The extensibility is endless, which is of course both a benefit and a liability sometimes. I've tinkered with my own customizations of course, but can someone recommend a good methodical approach for learning elisp and emacs internals?

The official documentation[1] is quite good. An Introduction to Programming in Emacs Lisp [2] is just what it sounds like. It will get you familiar with writing Elisp, using the debugger, and some other basics. At that point, you should be able to navigate the Elisp Reference Manual without too much trouble. Once you have that foundation, you shouldn't have much trouble scratching whatever itches that arise. The comm…

i think similarity between Common Lisp and Emacs Lisp should be pointed out more often. if you learn Emacs Lisp you have almost learned Common Lisp too. at least to the point where reading the Common Lisp Hyperspec would be a breeze

i point this out since Common Lisp is a language with huge potential for industrial applications and heavy computations. the utility of Emacs Lisp is non existent beyond emacs. of course, if you use Emacs the program to its full potential then knowing Emacs Lisp is also a huge deal

Emacs Lisp is totally usable as a minimal scripting language outside of the regular Emacs context.

You can compile Emacs without any GUI toolkit support and run it heedlessly as a lisp interpreter. You can even make Emacs packages behave like CLIs with a few lines of code.

of course. emacs itself is written in emacs lisp. it's not just an extension script for it. but it is not the most performant language. depending on the implementation, common lisp can be a beast with unmatched interactive development (in emacs of course)
