> Since upgrading to macOS Tahoe, I’ve noticed that quite often my attempts to resize a window are failing.

That should nudge users away from this rather primitive method of window resizing using tiny 19px corners and instead set up a productivity app where your can use the full 33% of the window size (so conveniently huge! and of course customizable) to resize via an extra trigger (for example, using a modifier key)

(nice plate picture joke!)

I set up Raycast (https://www.raycast.com/) with the same keybinds as Magnet (https://magnet.crowdcafe.com/) because I learned those first and haven't looked back.

  • Look back and discover a better way, those are not ergonomic defaults even though you got used to them. But also convenient app switching beats having your content get shifted around due to constant window resizing, that workflow mostly works for stuff you need "permanently" side by side. And on laptops this also runs into screen size limitations

"I need to resize my window."

"You shouldn't need this."

  • "My reading comprehension failed, help me!"

    "You should use this more convenient way to fulfill your window resizing need!"
