On a mac I can't live without "Magnet" [1]. It lets you do organize your windows in half/thirds of screens with simple keystrokes. That should be part of the OS.

I use Rectangle [0] for the same purpose, it has a few more bells and whistles and is open source. It does have a bit of a debounce problem on multiple screens though (one tap might move the window two positions).

Will try it out. Having said that it is on my Linux machine "for free". I'm not even quite sure if I'm allowed to use these paid apps on the Macbook Pro I've been given.

I've been using Magnet forever and believe I bought it on sale for a dollar or very cheap. One of my best purchases.

For Linux users on Gnome looking for similar functionality, I use the gTile extension to accomplish this. When I first got my ultrawide display on macOS, Divvy was critical to be able to do this. gTile was a similar enough replacement to get me my workflow back.

Ah the next stop would be outrage by Magnet folks, writing a blogpost on how Apple stole their app features and sent them out of business.

It’s a risk every Mac and iOS developer takes and is aware of. Sherlocking has been a thing for decades.

It's not even a software development exclusive problem. You might create a product, sell it on Amazon and then notice Amazon sell its own AmazonBasics version of it after a while.

I use ShiftIt which supports keybindings, is free, and can be installed from Homebrew

I used Magnet extensively when I used a mac. There is no linux equivalent.

[smoldesu]

There are... hundreds of Linux equivalents. Magnet is a pretty boring Window manager anyways.

The feature is typically included in the desktop environment on Linux (and Windows).
