@briankrebs are you by any chance acquainted with the biggest productivity boost an OS update has given me since MultiFinder in System 6.0.5(?): #StageManager?

i use cmd+` all the time to cycle windows in foreground app. but can pluck individual ones from the sidebar? i also use a layer on my keyboard for cycling tabs/panes/windows with two keys.

many people like some window management type tools for #macOS (also in comments) there's at least a couple included in a #SetApp subscription, too!

@philsplace I am ignoring the existence of #StageManager on #macOS until #Apple reconciles it with #MissionControl, spaces (virtual desktops and full/split-screen apps), and multiple monitors.

It is a bad port of a compromised #iPad window management system.

Hell, apps don’t even remain stable on a given space or screen between launches or attaching/detaching from a second monitor.

I’d go insane if I didn’t have manytricks.com/moom to tile and store window layouts.

Many TricksMoomMove, zoom, and snap windows. Arrange windows in layouts. Auto-adjust to display setups.

Oh crazy! You need multiple desktops for this to appear, which I didn't expect, because it *also* assigns the window to all #StageManager "stages" (which is what I was after).

So I created a new Desktop, assigned a window to all desktops, and now it shows up on all "stages" too (even if I close the second Desktop I had created).

Thanks!

あと #StageManager を有効にしてると #MissionControl 起動した時のアニメーションとかがちょっともっさりする。
これも副作用のような。

逆にウインドウを重ねて表示してないから、前面のアプリ以外を隠してるような状態になってて通常時の負荷が下がるとかそういうメリットがあったりするのかな？（調べてはいない

なんというか、基本的な印象はモーダルな UI だった #iPadOS の画面切り替え機能を #macOS にもついでに持ってきた感が強くて、今も本当に #macOS に #StageManager が必要なのかどうかは懐疑的なところはあるんだけど、「現在稼働しているアプリを使用履歴順で並べて、かつウインドウを一覧表示した UI」というのは #StageManager にしかできないものかも、と思った。

#macOS の伝統的なアプリスイッチャー（⌘ + Tab）だと、使用履歴順に並んではいるけど、アプリアイコンしか見られない。

逆に #MissionControl（旧 Expose）だと、ウインドウを一覧表示することはできるんだけど、使用履歴が分かりづらい。

#StageManager その両方のいいとこ取りみたいなことをしたい UI と考えると、ちょっと存在意義はあるかも、と思った。

ただ、直近の4アプリくらいしか表示できなかったり（13inch の場合）、デスクトップ上でアプリをまたがってウインドウを重ねることが出来ないのはやっぱり副作用として痛すぎる気はまだする…

I know this is a super unpopular opinion, but I actually really like #StageManager, especially when using an external display. It definitely has some rough edges, but it has made my iPad feel way more powerful and useful, and Apple has fixed most of the major crashing bugs. Here’s hoping they can further refine the design and really make it rock solid

I like #StageManager for #Mac so far, but it definitely needs some polish.

There's too much friction when adding a new app to the current Group. Working on multiple displays wonky in lots of little ways, feels like it wasn't tested much.

But overall I like the feature, it fits the way I work with groups of apps. #Apple
