• https://ianyh.com/amethyst/ 
• don’t know how to switch between workspaces

AeroSpace

• AeroSpace is an i3-like tiling window manager for macOS
  • no need to use native workspace anymore
• https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace?tab=readme-ov-file 
• difficult to indicate the current active window
  • https://github.com/nikitabobko/AeroSpace/issues/85 
    • Even the darkest macOS hackers (in a good sense 😄 ) decided to drop this functionality in yabai, because it’s impossible to maintain
  • maybe use https://github.com/FelixKratz/JankyBorders  as a workaround
    • might have bugs https://github.com/FelixKratz/JankyBorders/issues/154 
  • using 5.2. ‘on-focus-changed’ callbacks  to track window focus
• In “Desktop & Dock”, turn on the “Group windows by application” to make mission control show windows in a pleasant way
