Spectacle (https://github.com/eczarny/spectacle#keyboard-shortcuts) will change your life with better/faster window management.

And Karabiner Elements (https://github.com/tekezo/Karabiner-Elements) to remap keys to something more useful (who uses Caps Lock anymore?)

Spectacle is great but abandoned. It hasn't been updated in years. Bug reports and PRs are piling up.

It looks like someone else is currently working on a Swift rewrite. https://github.com/rxhanson/Rectangle

There's Amethyst as well, which generally works really well, it's been basically the first thing I install on a new Mac for years now

TIL. I should check out Rectangle:

> Spectacle used it's own keyboard shortcut recorder, while Rectangle uses MASShortcut [1], a well maintained open source library for shortcut recording in macOS apps. This cuts down dramatically on the number of bugs that were only in Spectacle because of the custom shortcut recorder.

I use Karabiner to map symbols to the home row with a Caps Lock modifier.

It's really nice to use k for "(" and l for ")". I don't have to reach up two rows.

FWIW, I use the Double Use Shift for parantheses. Tap left Shift for (, tap right Shift for ), and shift works as usual for normal typing and shortcuts. Karabiner is really an essential tool for me, especially this shortcut.

Oh wow. That's a really good one. Never thought about shift taps.

Iirc you can remap capslock in OS X settings, don't need an addon for that. Thought I'm sure Elements does a lot more than just that.

I used Spectacle before but switched to Magnet now (https://apps.apple.com/ch/app/magnet/id441258766?l=en&mt=12). It's basically the same.

For window management, I'm a big fan of Slate (https://github.com/jigish/slate). So powerful and customizable. Works great with Mojave.
