I updated, and my whole Elixir/JS setup works like before.

I like that they _finally_ added window snapping to the window manager, but keyboard shortcuts are still missing from what I can see.

Edit: it is possible! take a look at this Reddit post for a workaround https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1dcy6l2/comment/lax9...



I have been using a little app called Rectangle[1] for years now, and it solves every possible window positioning need I have ever had. No ads, no cost.

As far as the conversation goes, 1st party implementation by Apple would be nice and all, but 3rd party doesn't bother me in the slightest. (at least in this case)

I mean I use rectangle, and used spectacle before it, and I’m very grateful to the developers for maintaining it and making it available for free, but this really should be part of the OS and I will be very happy to get rid of that app after updating to Sequoia.

I also use an app that reverses the scroll direction of an attached USB mouse, without affecting the (natural) trackpad scroll direction, because MacOS does not allow changing them independently (looks like they are separate options for mouse and trackpad but they are in fact the same).

The App is called Scroll Reverser [1] it is free and works flawlessly, but it really should not have to exist, it’s ridiculous.

I was/am a rectangle pro user!


Keyboard shortcuts are either a simple Hammerspoon script or Magnet/Rectangle installation away.


The suggestion from that comment to use "Window -> Move & Resize -> Left" doesn't work for me. Any ideas?


That'll take another 5 years


Love the font, don't care for the website -- it was very hard to navigate.


agreed - the contrast is so low that I double checked if my content blocker was removing some cookie modal while leaving an opaque gray backdrop. Then I focused on a different window and then an opaque gray backdrop appeared, for reasons I can't imagine, with a message saying "Click to focus page". Not the best introduction for such an everyday tool


I also had to check if my adblocker was blocking something extra - this site is definitely a unique experience when it comes to using and navigating it.

Elixir, Ecto, SQL, and a bit of devops notes and ideas.

There is a more personal section that will contain random ideas and observations.


Great article, thank you! Please submit it to https://elixirstatus.com/ as well!


Came here to post this. I was looking forward to the results.


Author here, thanks for this. I've updated the blog post!

And hopefully the money you make with it


I could probably use Notepad, VSCode or Vim and make exactly the same amount of money..

No, this is about the invaluable pleasure of using a slightly nicer tool.

I use (paid) Berkeley Graphics fonts for the same reason.

I use only Sublime for my work. But to claim that VSCode didn't overshadow it is incorrect.

Everyone uses VSCode, and while I hate it because of the bloat, slow startup, and slow plugins, given a blind test I don't think I would be able to tell which one is faster in typing...


Agreed. We pushed for tab spacing on JavaScript projects and this allowed personal preference which is great. Four-space tabs looks the best to me.
