    Move your mouse over the green zoom button in any window, and Moom's mouse control overlay will appear (as seen in the above animation).
    My macOS task/window management strategy: - Start with windows sized full height, they stack horizontally this way instead of diagonally. - Never resize anything unless something got messed up re-attaching a display, which is exceedingly rare. (If I’m doing web stuff I use dev tools to test responsive, the browser window stays the same width.) - Command + tab/command + ~ do great most of the time. - Command + ? -> type window title when I have lots of open windows in one app. - Generally avoid moving windows unless I really need to, the above strategies work well for everything except the occasional side by side workflow. This took a little while to hone, but it definitely doesn't feel cumbersome <i>to me</i>, much less enraging. I do generally use Moom[1] when I need to resize windows, mainly because I already have a license and I’m anal about consistent sizing. I’m sure this wouldn’t work for everybody, but I also know a lot of folks don’t know about command + ~ or using the help menu search, so it felt worth sharing. 1: https://manytricks.com/moom/.
