I used to be a big user of tiling window managers but, more recently, I’ve discovered that the workflow of something like Moom is nicer in more situations.

It doesn’t force you with tiles (on 6k xdr tiles are a joke).
Its two-stage popup is a game changer. Ie you show it via caps-a, then press one letter to move window anywhere.
And it allows you to specify any arbitrary size and position and save that to the specific one letter.
It’s a shame I can’t find a single screenshot of this killer feature and I write this from a phone.
@rcarmo Totally agree on keyboard-first workflow. It's interesting how different tools optimize for different input methods. Some prioritize trackpad gestures, others keyboard shortcuts. Would love to see more hybrid approaches.
Yeah, this is sort of annoying, but I’ve switched to using “hyper” (caps lock mapped with karabiner to command-option-control) plus a homerow key to activate the frontmost window of key apps. So, Hyper-L activates the most recent terminal, Hyper-j emacs, etc. l
Moom is an absolute crucial piece of software that I've gladly paid for upgrades to over time to support it.
There's also BetterSnapTool, which I used to use, but I think switched to Moom for specific features at one point in time. It's even cheaper and still receiving updates to continue working.
