Re 1: My life has fully changed by purchasing "Magnet" for window snapping and window move hotkeys.. it blows my mind that this isn't a default feature or option for MacOS.


I use Rectangle and it's great for moving windows using the keyboard: https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle


Was about to post the same thing. Magnet is one of the first things I install every time I get a new Mac. Can't live without it. And it only costs $2.99, what's your excuse?


> And it only costs $2.99, what's your excuse?

My excuse is that I prefer using an Operating System that provides such productivity features out of the box over paying third parties to augment an effectively broken social media machine.


The hyperbole on this thread is truly something to behold.

Effectively broken? Well okay then.

I’m trying to defend the thought process here, but I can’t. Willing to spend several thousand for a premium laptop. Unwilling to spend $3 on principle.

To each their own I suppose.


Yeah, I use Magnet but I find it pretty ridiculous I had to pay a fee just to get some basic window snapping/tiling functionality in my operating system



> Ever noticed random apps on your Mac hang sometimes when you click on them, or having events lost entirely?

No


as soon as Apple adds window snapping features we'll be reading blogs on this site about Apple stealing all these third-party developer ideas.


Isn't it an IP issue? I thought maybe MS patented this
