Make macOS consistently bad (unironically)

I use Rectangle [1] for window management. I only use three shortcuts: full screen, left half of the screen, and right half of the screen. My editors and Chrome are always running in one of these modes.

But for other apps where interactions tend to be brief like Finder, Messages, Notes, Music, etc - yeah I don't usually expand them to full screen.

Hey, workflow buddy! I do the exact same. I feel seriously handicapped without these shortcuts.

Exact same for me - but I also use the shortcut to move windows between monitors.

I use cmd+tab and cmd+~ a ton also as I have multiple browser profiles and windows open and usually a few instances of ide with different projects.

And always close tabs with cmd+w and apps with cmd+q to avoid running apps with no visible windows.

I feel super productive with this workflow, never need to fiddle with manual resize.

When someone is screen sharing and they have a bunch of random sized windows it drives me crazy.
