Hey, I'm the author. Glad you enjoyed the post! I don't have any results for Windows or macOS yet unfortunately. I wanted to run these tests on Windows eventually, and include things like cmd.exe and the Windows…
You could fullscreen them, yeah. Just for gitui on my monitor, I find that 67% is both sufficient and enough, and keeping a little bit of the other window in sight helps maintain spatial context. Besides, when it's…
Have you seen PaperWM [1]? It runs on top of GNOME as an extension, so you get all the benefits of a fully fledged and supported DE, and it is quite a well done implementation. I've been using it for a few months now,…
Alt+Tab is in most-recently-used order, whereas with scrolling it's a spatial kind of system. > since it reintroduces the mouse as a core aspect of window navigation Not really, why? You switch between windows with…
I personally find it better because, unlike regular tiling, you're not constrained to the screen size. I.e. if a 50% window width is too small, I can tile together several 67% or even 100% wide windows, and just scroll…
I will describe how PaperWM works; I think that behavior makes a lot of sense. There are preset widths (by default: ~33%, 50%, ~67%) which you can toggle between with a key, plus a 100% "maximized" width that you can…
Whenever I tried streaming coding on Twitch I found myself being much less productive than normally due to constantly having to pay attention to the chat and whatnot. Actually for me even having something like a chat…
A text editor using 600 MB of RAM to open a file is ridiculous. That with a couple of Chrome tabs grinds my laptop to a halt.
