What is Reddit's opinion of SizeUp?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

You could hit the full-screen button in the top right, instead of the fit-to-content button.

Or if you are like me you could use an app which allows for key-commands to manage your windows, like SizeUp

I'm looking forward to when window management is finally built into the OS like it is in windows with the WIN-arrow key shortcuts.

I use SizeUp on the work iMac since it can bias the halves to be something other than 50-50 to accommodate a specific window setup I like, and I just deal with the popups for now.

I use Spectacle on the laptop with the same shortcuts since I need a bit more refinement with the thirds/larger & smaller adjustments.

Well, I currently have it connected to a Win 8.1 machine and I just picked it up on the 3rd of this month.. So, I don't have a concrete workflow as of right now.

From the time I have used it this far, I usually have Illustrator open full-screen (2560x1080) on the UltraWide (UW), and then have a browser window open on my secondary display Samsung 24" (1920x1080) for Google Play Music, Email, Logo inspiration, and Reddit.

I am waiting on this monitor mount so that I can free up space on my desk for my Macbook Pro. I plan on connecting the MBP to the UW as the only display for when I am doing illustrations.

I mainly got it because:

1. It is a gorgeous display
2. It has a more screen real-estate than my 24" or 15"
3. It is an IPS panel
4. It was only $320

Also, look into SizeUp as a wonderful window-management solution. I love this program. For example: Press CMD + SHIFT + Left Arrow and the active window sizes up to fill the left half of the screen. Or, CMD + SHIFT + M which will maximize the active window to full-screen. (You can set up your own hotkeys).

Hope this helps.

Obviously a few days late on this reply, but isn't awesome finding new good apps that you've never heard of or seen before?

Lol, maybe it's just me, but I love it. I'm always looking for that app that one up's the one I'm currently using.

Thanks. I read about that trick. But it's not very comfortable to do.

Also I found an app named SizeUp that has shortcuts for send Windows to other Spaces.

Someone uses it?

Definitely SizeUp. Lets me arrange windows around the screen using key commands. Of particular significance is the ability to configure a "make-window-take-the-entire-screen" key combo.

That might be the hard solution, but you can try to install SizeUp, it's a manager that lets you arrange windows with hotkeys and a lot of cool stuff. That way you can rearrange back the edit window in the visible part of your screen.

Or you can just look for it around the border of your screen, it's possibly still visible

Actually I’m not even using Spectacle, I use SizeUp but since Spectacle does mostly the same for the price of 0 I just recommended that. But SizeUp is actually really awesome.

Can't live without SizeUp

(resizing, moving windows on screen or between screens via keyboard shortcuts)

Also any multi-clipboard manager, I prefer:
https://tapbots.com/pastebot/

I can only describe my setup / how I work with it. I do mostly backend work and use the command line a lot so your millage may vary.

Both at home and at work I have high resolution screens, which means if I really need to look at two things at once, there is enough room to have both side by side. In general though, I run iTerm in proper fullscreen on the Laptop screen and a bunch of maximized windows on the external monitor (double click on the window-bar to get the same as pulling to the top on windows).

I mostly use my IDE and a browser and not much else, so it's generally easy to switch back and forth using command+tab.

If you need more control over the arrangement of windows, have a look at SizeUp, it's what I use (though less and less it seems to me).

edit: double not triple click

This is probably dated, but I've been using SizeUp for a very long time. I've liked it enough to not look elsewhere, although sometimes I do wish I had more control on smaller slices of windows.

I really like SizeUp from Irradiated Software. Free trial. Has saved me almost 500 minutes on this machine having moved almost 9,500 windows via key commands rather than the dreaded mouse. http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/

Not a problem. Glad I could help you learn something new today.

What app are you using to manage window placement and sizing? I've heard of SizeUp but have yet to try it.

I try to keep my set-up fairly vanilla but I cant live without SizeUp (http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/). Provides keyboard shortcuts for moving windows around.

I use Alfred because I can set custom searches -- so I have shortcuts for searching iOS and Android dev docs. If you don't need that, spotlight may be enough.

Not an app, but as someone who interacts with Windows sometimes I usually format all my flash drives as exFAT for interoperability.

If you can swing a time capsule, they are rock solid routers and IMO the automatic time machine backups are the mac killer feature.

Witch (https://manytricks.com/witch/) is another utility that does sane task switching. I also use SizeUp (http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/) that allows complete window control with just the keyboard.

I greatly miss this as well. I've been trying out Zooom, which has sort-of got this functionality with focus+window-raise follows mouse, among other window mgmt features (not using any of them, I use Sizeup for window mgmt)

It's kind of buggy with popover windows instantly taking/losing focus, (updates, some odd app dialogs) but so far, I still have it enabled.

This is the app I was talking about. I like my Hammerspoon config, but I had this one running along side it just for the Spaces add-on. Funny enough, this works seamlessly and actually isn't just some hack-and-a-half.

Size Up is for managing windows on your computer. pressing "control option command & M" makes any window full screen. When using someone else's computer I realize how much I use it.

I use SizeUp, paid application though. Loved it since the day I got it. It adds keyboard shortcuts to maximize or snap into corners or half of the screen. Very easy to use, absolute recommend.

As someone who's been frustrated by this exact same scenario, I can tell you from my research, there are no OS X native options. SizeUp will do exactly what you're looking for for maximizing windows. Not sure about hiding/unhiding as I've never used that much.

SizeUp for Mac. http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/

As a web developer I frequently have Terminal, Sublime Text (often multiple windows), Photoshop, one or more browsers, and Slack all running at once. That isn't even mentioning things like iTunes or other recreational programs (or Illustrator, or Xcode, etc).

Sizeup lets you knock windows around to corners or top/bottom/left/right side of the screen with simple hotkey combos. BUT, you can also shuffle them to other monitors or other workspaces. Combine it with your basic Command+Tab or Command+Spacebar to find programs and you are in fast working, no concentration breaking heaven.

GNU Stow - really useful for installing unpackaged software locally, without creating a mess.

SizeUp - makes the apple window manager a little more tolerable.

WinURL - open the URL in your clipboard with a hotkey.

> I am far more productive with proper tiling window management, and it can only be found on Linux.

I am far more productive on OS X, because every app uses the same keyboard shortcut convention, I can do windows tiling with Apple Script, which gives me best of both worlds. Windows tiling is not the most optimal style of windows management for all application types, in fact only one application type I can think of benefits from it (terminal).

or I could use http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/ if I really wanted a tiling window manager, which like I said is not all that useful.

Besides all these things. OS X is actually a desktop OS which doesn't suck, unlike Linux. We get working sound, video acceleration and working power management. I am not saying this to hate on Linux, I love Linux, but the fact is Linux desktop sucks.

> Tiling isn't just about adding a few shortcuts to rearrange windows---it's an entire placement policy that effectively and automatically reorganizes your windows into a non-overlapping display. A tiling window manager then usually provides functions (bound to keyboard shortcuts) that allow one to rearrange, resize, add or remove windows from tiling.

You can do all this with AppleScript.

> applications float above the desktop in OS X

Yeah, you can fix that.

Although Lion's "Fullscreen" mode is a step towards making it better, fortunately there are a few little apps to fix the more broken parts of OSX window management.
