    full screen takes over a whole desktop

    and creates it. It’s a whole new workspace just for putting an app in fullscreen and none of the shortcuts to jump to workspace x work with it of course.

    The rest of the WM can be made bearable but there’s no way around that stupid design choice.

      Can you use a different extension/plugin?

        I’m not sure what you mean? It’s a basic feature of the macOS window manager. Pressing the fullscreen button on a window does all of this.

          There is a program in the Mac App Store called Magnet, could try that. I think there are some others.

            Magnet seems to be a window management shortcut thingy like rectangle but probably worse, costs money and likely to enshittify.

            It cannot influence how the macOS window manager works internally, it can only ask it to e.g. place a window in a certain location.
