As a 38" ultrawide owner myself, I use vscode or intellij maximized most of the day, depending on the codebase I'm

Browsers only ever get maximized to the left/right half screen for me too

Which is something macos should really improve on though, the ux is pretty bad compared to Windows and Linux there

I split a vs code window and a browser or a browser and terminal window on my 13" mb air. Usually need additional context on the same screen.

MacOS has a built in 4x4 window tiling which works for this purpose for me. I don’t find ever wanting more than 4 windows open on an ultrawide. Definitely not as powerful as something like xmonad but useful for the majority of my use cases.

Windows also has this kind of tiling built-in. It even comes with default keyboard shortcuts.

So does Mac: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mchl9674d0b0/....

Obnoxiously, it's part of the recent trend of overloading the Globe/Fn key, so it's hard to do with third-party keyboards.

Can you not change the shortcut?

[troad]

You can, I believe, but I often need to move between computers so I try not to mess with shortcuts too much (or go down keyboard layout rabbit holes, etc).

Saner defaults would be better.

Here to say ubuntu's got it built in as well
