I really liked the display settings built-in to MacOS, very straightforward. Unfortunately, with Ventura, they now hid the arrangement in a separate options window that takes extra clicks to reach. A step backwards :/
Settings in Ventura are a step back. Just…the whole thing. It’s gracious to call it an amateur effort.

#52This hasn't been updated in a while. What I really want from this kind of tool is the ability to take a snapshot of my ALL display settings, and just click something on my desktop or bind a keyboard shortcut, or run a command which will restore it - exactly how it should be. This would include, exact screen positioning, refresh rate, resolutions etc. I don't know what triggers it, but MacOS is really bad at changing…

#53Would love if these tools also had the ability to save application window settings too.

#54The one feature I really want for window management on macOS is the ability to split fullscreen applications horizontally, for my vertical monitor. macOS lets you split a fullscreen app vertically so you can have two on the same screen, but when a monitor is oriented vertically you can still only split the screen vertically, not horizontally.

Unfortunately the new replacement allows them to not think very hard about how it's designed, just dump some everything in a list.

The closest I've found to doing this is Mosaic. I paid for it because it was so useful. You can bind keyboard shortcuts and make any selected window snap to a particular screen and size. With the introduction of Ventura's Stage Manager (which is a poorly disguised Task Bar that should be at the bottom of the screen occupying all the unused real estate next to/around the dock), I can use Mosaic to snap my windows to t…
