I really want https://material-shell.com/ for MacOS

it was perfect for using a single monitor

kinda like a deterministic alt+tab, you set up the layout of "workspaces" and they're always in the same place

you can also pin windows to always open in the same place, so you basically can have persistent layouts that you create while using them (not like powertools where you have to set up the layouts to use them later)

I keep getting annoyed at alt+tab because I accidentally clicked on another window and now the order is messed up

I'm still bitter about macOS removing 2D "workspaces". When I was on a 13" I could work just fine by having my browser in the center of 3x3, code to the right, chat down, DB browser left, and I can't remember what I put "up". I vaguely remember using the "diagonals" for something, maybe TweetDeck or similar?

It was _so_ much better than just a 1D list of workspaces. I could get to any of my main 5 spaces with 1-2 key presses max. I've completely ignored spaces since they took that away especially since I think it reorders them automatically or something like that? I have zero desire for "smart spaces" or anything like that. I want deterministic. Now I just run multiple monitors and I'm happy with that but I miss the 2D grid for spaces on just a laptop.
