I can't figure out how to set a shortcut that moves the current window to my other monitor. Always have to go into the toolbar to do it.
Edit: And oh! Why do I constantly have to (painfully manually) maximize windows. Preview is constantly choosing a different size, for example. Why is this not remembered.
I can't recall the last time an application in linux forgot its size after restarting.
Agreed that apps forget where they were, or end up on the main screen instead of the attached one.
Rectangle deals with a lot of that with key shortcuts.
I don't love MacOS, but I don't hate it. I have a bunch of extra utilities like Rectangle, BarTender, MonitorControl, Karabiner-Elements, that make things better.
I use MacPorts so when I open a terminal, I get a Unix/Linux environment.
Things I miss from Linux/X-11, primarily middle button copy/paste, and being able to run an X-11 app remotely over LAN/WAN. But a lot of that is configurable with terminals like iTerm2.
Not at my Mac right now, but I've defined cmd-F[12] to move windows from one monitor to the other.
The trick is to capture the exact words you see in the Window menu, with the exact monitor name, and use those exact words when defining the keyboard shortcut.
A clunky PITA, but once setup, works like a charm.
