BetterTouchTools and Karabiner Elements for macOS.

With a swipe of four fingers, I can turn a set of windows into a tiled configuration by "shoving" them where I need to go.

When I press Caps Lock, which I've rebound in Karabiner to F16 and then bound F16+various modifiers to Activate/Hide Application in BTT, I can switch between IntelliJ, Chrome, Figma, Slack, Notion, so fast that I feel like I have 3x as many monitors as I do - which, whether paired with actual monitors or on the road, is absolutely game-changing.

Knowing that I can context-switch immediately and get everything I need on screen, just so, lets me wear a lot more hats than I otherwise could have. There's an argument that I'm able to deliver results at a level as if I had 100 more hours every month!



I used better touch tool for some shortcuts and trackpad gestures, but never fully used it's power. Recently I had a problem that one of my monitors connected somewhat late and all my windows were out of place. Thanks for saving my time mate, the restore window layout thing is truly magical
