Aerospace window manager

Aerospace replaced my trackpad

Introduction

As I described in my dedicated Vim post, I discovered Aerospace from Mattia, I was already aware of Hyprland in the linux world and it always fascinated me, but I never thought I could have something similar on MacOS. After trying it for some months, I can say that it has completely changed the way I interact with MacOS. 🚀

What I Like

Dedicated Workspaces

I always keep apps in the same workspace layout, so everything is where I expect it to be. 🧭

Keyboard-First Flow

I can switch apps and move around windows with shortcuts, without touching the trackpad. ⌨️

Automatic Tiling

I now use 100% of the screen. Windows are resized automatically when I open a new one, and I can still adjust sizes manually with shortcuts. 🪟

Fast Focus Switching

When two windows are side by side, I can focus the one I want instantly using a shortcut instead of clicking it. ⚡

Menu Bar Workspace View

I can always see all my workspaces in the menu bar and instantly identify which one is active. 👀
