it’s a way of doing things with programs that you don’t have to think about. moving your hand to the mouse, clicking or double clicking the window, dragging it to the appropriate corner and waiting for snapping to toggle are all too slow compared to a keyboard shortcut to open and tile left, right, bottom, or stacked in i3.
this mouse movement is even ambiguous on mac os which requires external apps to make the experience marginally above suck.
The main thing is you want to commit these actions to muscle memory to free up your conscious effort on whatever it is you are trying to focus on.
Kind of serious question…
If you are in the tiling team, is this some sort of pattern in you? To be dissident of the “mainstream” way of doing things?
Do you see yourself also taking “the other”, custom, method for most areas of your life?
