Ask HN: How many screens in your workspace?

3 points by markwillis82 7y ago ↗ HN

We are having a discussion about workspaces. We are running 27" iMacs, and although it's possible to have multiple screens I think that one screen with better "window management" to ensure the real estate is used as well as it can be, would be better than 2 screens and having the "neck twist" of moving between the two.

What does your screen setup look like?

Heavily using this. F1-F4 on Gnome now. Most of the work done on laptop. Workspaces are big productivity plus.

For mac neck twist: Disable animations and assign key shortcuts. http://osxdaily.com/2011/09/06/switch-between-desktops-space...

Looks like handy tool is available those days (read without heavy scripting): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/workspaces/id1219826448?mt=1...

I run a single 4k monitor, ~40" and I haven't felt a need for any additional monitors. I use i3 as my window manager, really like it with this setup.
