      Hi @joseanmartinez, besides the content and the nice wallpapers, I fell in love with the look and feel of your zsh terminal, the colors, the icons, the status bar in the bottom, just everything looks beautiful together 🤩
      Do you have a video where you show how you configured your zsh terminal? And, by the way, I’ll give Aerospace a try. Thanks for sharing! 🫶

      Thank you for you awesome videos! I have switched over to using a Corne keyboard, using neovim and are now about to switch to using a window management tool because of you. The one question I always have when seeing window management videos is how people watch videos without going full screen. I personally use all my windows in full screen, but if I could make a video fill up an entire window without making the window itself full screen I could switch to using non full screen windows instead which seems much more efficient

      Hey Josean, little shell shortcut, if you're repeating the arguments from a previous command you can use the bang commands to repeat them. `!!` repeats the whole command including arguments, useful for repeating a command with `sudo` if you forgot the first time. `!*` repeats all the arguments to the last command, `!^` repeats the first argument and `!$` repeats the last. So at 1:52 when you re-typed the directory name from the previous command you could have used `cd !$` and repeated the directory name. This works in bash and zsh and others.

    I switched to Aerospace around 8 months ago (from Yabai) and I even contributed to Aerospace, but then I realized that actually I don't need any tiling manager, because 90% of time I use a single window maximized. And for the rest 10% I can just use a simple app that can move the window from left to right :D. In my case, resigning from tiling manager was actually a productivity boost, because I didn't have to fight anymore with multiple glitches caused by them, like when a small window pops up and the whole layout is getting crazy :D
    Also, most of the time when I need to split the screen is when I'm working in a terminal, but for that purpose I prefer using tmux or Neovim's splits rather than playing with multiple separate terminal windows :)
    Anyway, great video!

    So glad you showed me this. I've been so frustrated the way MacOS handles spaces. It's suboptimal, especially when navigating spaces. The delay between switching space is what kills it for me. Although I like that you can get native interaction to spaces, like yabai does, this is still better alternative. It'll take some time to get used to, but I like how workspaces work. Instant switch and immediate input, that's imperative for me.

My only problem is, that when I move a window on monitor #3 into a new Workspace X for example, it will move it there, but when I switch to X (ALT-X), it appears on monitor #1 and I have to Move-Workspace-To-Monitor it twice. Why can't the workspace be created in the monitor where I was. Maybe you know something.

    How often do you have two windows side by side? Seems like for your workflow you could accomplish the same thing by just maximizing your window and assigning global hotkeys for apps. So alt b opens browser alt t terminal. Then you don't have to have to think about workspaces and sending windows around. Once I did this I'm so much faster on my mac, I never need to resize windows because I always work on my laptop with one window max the whole screen at a time. I rarely ever need two windows side by side. I quickly fly back and forth between apps with my key combinations.

      local f = win:frame()
      local screen = win:screen()

    Thank you so much man! This dropped at a perfect time. I have been using yabai and skhd ever since I saw your setup video but recently, my skhd config had some trouble and it stopped working. All of the things I felt were missing in yabai and skhd, aerospace fixes those. So thanks a lot!

    What if you could do vim style macros where you record setting up a given workspace and tiling, then have a binding mode to replay recorded workspace setups, could be neat

    Hi Josean, really enjoying your videos. Are you going to make a walkthrough of the native Mac OS window tiling (available with Sequoia) and maybe do a comparison with Aerospace?

  • @slammingrooves
    @slammingrooves 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Great stuff - I really liked i3 when Linux was my daily driver, and have wanted a similar experience since moving to Mac - I like the Mac experience, except for the window management, and aerospace goes a long way towards making it better. Now I just have to get these shortcuts under my fingers.

    totally agree here, i think yabai and skhd is slowing my mac down a lot, everything is slower due to it uses a lot of calls that seems to be incompatible and eating into the GPU or resources used by other apps. After a restart, I noticed everything is suddenly faster when yabai and skhd is not enabled.

    Is it possible to swap alt key for another key such as semi colon while changing the workspaces ? I feel like the combination of semicolon +1/2/3/ would be easy to reach.
    Also, how do you disable your macos animation while changing the workspaces, I've tried reduce motion but there's still fade in animation in there.
    Thank you for the tutorial.

    I'm a software engineer and I use aerospace on my work mac, it is great. I end up having a ton of windows open, and it makes it super easy to switch between different workspaces dedicated to different tasks (browser, email, slack, terminal, document app, notes, etc). It makes things fast. Only issue is when I do video calls it gets a bit messed up if i switch out of the workspace my call app is in, so I disable it for calls and then re-enable right afterwards. Idk if anyone has any solutions for handling small windows that can't be fullscreened and want to stay on top.

    It seems like utilizing this has some RAM benefits. I notice that even when I have a bunch of apps open, with AeroSpace my machine is taking up only ~5.5gb of RAM. Without AeroSpace, the same number of apps would take up around ~6.5 to 7gb with some swap. (I use a base model m1, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd). I think this might have to do with my previous setup (Moom for window management), so I'd actually have like 4-5 apps painted across two displays neatly arranged, visible at all times (or floating on top of one another). Whereas with this I essentially only have two apps because workspaces hides the others.

    Wow, thank you, great overview of a great WM. I've been using yabai for some time but found it a bit too complex and getting in my way. This seems perfect. You should contact the developers of aerospace and they should link your review on the project page cause there "official" video is really bad and doesn't do justice to the project.

    I'm coming from i3wm, and it has been a good experience so far. But one thing that I miss is showing how many workspaces are currently active, rather than showing only the current workspace number. Does anyone know if there's a config for that?

    is it still number, thats mean you need to go to anothr layer. or you create your own shortcut?
