Window management becomes a whole other thing with really large monitors. I recently got a UHD 43" and to make the most of it I designed a custom grid but struggled to find an optimal solution. BetterSnapTool with custom snap zones works but is a bit clunky. Lasoo has the exact imagined solution I wanted (keystroke > grid representation appears at mouse pointer > drag window size) but doesn't yet support custom grids. I've requested the feature but not exactly hopeful.

I could see that yabai could be a solution but haven't committed to a proper setup.

Anyone else using a single large monitor? FancyZones on Windows (PowerToys feature) looks pretty good, but I got sick of autoupdate BS random driver breaks (common linux thing) and went full mac.

My custom grid for 4K 43" snap zones in case anyone's interested: - diagram: https://imgur.com/a/axTw1tI - 3840x2160 1:1 grid: https://imgur.com/a/pUSoafG
