• Show HN: I3wm Alt+Tab Workspace Switcher

  I like using Contexts on the Mac as replacement: https://contexts.co. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• My MacBook setup (the 2024 version)

  I use the Contexts [1] app, couldn't live without it (not affiliated...) It shows me all open Windows and in which Desktop, in its Sidebar (I've disabled the macOS dock.) Also the Cmd-Tab functionalities are nice, and I can use "Fn + [a single key] " shortcut to focus an app. Would recommend. [1] https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Arc 1.0 – a freeware web browser developed by The Browser Company

  Thanks for your feedback, I'll have to give TST in the Firefox sidebar another try... > "I make use of ctrl-uparrow to switch between browser and VSCode" I use the Contexts app (Fast Search) for that - https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Is there a program that can show my open apps as tabs across a bar like open tabs in a web browser?

  Https://contexts.co has a sidebar option. In their landing page its there under the sidebar heading. Source: 11 months ago

• Witch – macOS window switcher replacement

  You should try contexts! It also has a bunch of other features and is highly configurable. I'm not one to normally pay for software, but this is probably up there with some of the best $10 I ever spent. https://contexts.co/. - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago

• Ask HN: Anyone know workarounds to MacBook Air M2 missing dual-monitor support?

  * a cheap USB-C to (Mini-)Display port adapter will allow you to drive two monitors and the laptop panel simultaneously. I have no problem driving the Ultrawide at 3440x1440@100Hz via HDMI and/or Displayport , though without the convenience of USB-C/Thunderbolt.
