Is this ragebait? In case it isn't...

I'm sorry but objectively macOS window management is wholly subpar compared to the options on Linux.

Rectangle is a literal hack on top that hopefully works when you need it. Rectangle is great, but Rectangle, Yabai and whatnot can only hope that the undocumented private APIs that macOS _allows_ them to use today don't mysteriously break tomorrow.

Meanwhile a Linux window manager actually does its full job unencumbered because it's a _real_ first class window manager and not a hack.

This has always worked in a Javascript.

> `${`${`${`${`${1 + 1}`}`}`}`}` '2'

It was simply a limitation with the Python parser.

Heck, it even works in Vimscript

:echo $'{$'{$'{1 + 1}'}'}' 2

I just created this account to say that I agree wholeheartedly 100%. People always ask me, "How do I get better at Vim?" or say "Vim is too hard" etc, and I always say `set mouse=a` isn't just a gimmick, it's a _very_ useful feature...
