Fancy Zones, a tiling window manager

I’ve encountered similar issues with macOS tiling window managers. At the end of the day, you’re bolting on behaviors that the original designers of the system didn’t intend you to, and there’s always going to be tension there.

When I’m on Linux I love using xmonad/i3, but on other platforms I’ve learned to accept the defaults; otherwise you just end up using things that work most of the time, but not really, and it’s really infuriating when you expect your workflows to be snappy and consistent.

I've had a lot of success with Amethyst, can't imagine using my Mac without it now.

Have you tried chunkwm[1] on Mac? It has it's issues but it has served me fine for the last few years.

There's also AppGrid[2] for Mac, which I've been using for years and still use to this day. It's simple but flexible.
