![]() With shortcuts and focus modes, I can semi-automate opening / closing certain apps to organise my space and since shortcuts are share from iMac to iPad, can do it on both! it’s pretty neat! Now with Monterey I need only one safari. Next to it is my iPad Pro sitting, either in sidecar or in note taking with the pencil. ![]() Usually it goes Home Podcast/music Mail+calendar iMessage/signal Slack/reminder Main task stuff say word, Miro, Figma, MuseScore (I’m also a musician) Desktop 1 (which is mainly an access to finder, and any floating apps, say the one I know I’ll open and close in a minute Safari 1 Safari 2 Safari 3. The desktop act as a separation: allowing me to know where I am in my sorted system without having to think about it. I organise my windows as the following (and wrote a full medium post about it hahah)īackground stuff Main tasks stuff Desktop 1 Safari stuff If I do screen share at work, I share the entire screen and switch between #2 (Chrome) and #3 (Work). Nobody can see my Safari w/ personal stuff or my messaging. I don't use native full screen because I want/need quick access to the menu bar (clock, menus, apps etc.).Īlso, I found overlapping windows to be quite annoying and I can't focus on the current app.ĭoing screen share is also a reason why this works best for me. Doing so, I always have a terminal opened and ready to use and never losing it. Pressing cmd + ~ will display iTerm instantly at the top of the screen. I abandoned mouses and I am using strictly the touchpad now. In the past I was using a Logitech G700s with 4 side buttons, each for quick access to one of the desktops. And thank God for Finder (cmd+ space) - I really don't need that dock. If there are multiple instances/windows on these desktops, I just to a three fingers swipe up and click on a another window - this happens from time to time and it's much easier for to have an overview of 3 windows (of the current desktop) rather than 10-15. I have disabled notifications to avoid distractions.Īs I keep my dock hidden (for both screen estate but also avoiding distractions), it's much easier for me to switch between desktops rather than go to the bottom of the screen, wait for the dock to appear and click on an icon. I switch to #1 whenever I need to contact somebody or from time to time to check if there's anything new. and to #4 if I need to access something personal like social media or anything else. While I spend most of the time on #3, I often switch to #2 for testing, researching etc. I have 4 desktops all the time, each with its own reason: 1 for messaging - iMessage and Slack each at 25% of the screen and the email client with 50% of the screen 2 for Chrome w/ work stuff - maximized but not full screen 3 for IDE(s) - usually one but may be up to 4-5 instances at the same time 4 for Safari w/ personal stuff - same as Chrome It’s crazy how much faster it makes my audio editing stuff. Now, I fly around in Logic like I do everything else. I open the Piano roll and track view on a separate desktops on one monitor and then I open the mixer and audio editor on separate desktops on the other monitor. I don’t own a Windows machine anymore.Įdit: also, I recently started using multiple desktops on both my MacBook monitor and the connected monitor for Logic Pro. I actually thanked him when it was all said and done. He said “you’re gonna think I’m being an ass hole but once you really learn how use this thing how it’s supposed to be used and you’re flying around getting things done 4 times as fast, you’ll thank me.” My boss bought me a Mac and made me learn MacOS and gestures. It feels like when when Tom Cruise was using all that future computer tech in Minority Report or something lol If I’m working between three or four apps, I’ll full screen all of them on their own desktop and 4 finger swipe between then to copy/paste and manage data on each one. With trackpad gestures, multiple desktops are easier than opening apps or switching windows. ![]()
