As a 38" ultrawide owner myself, I use vscode or intellij maximized most of the day, depending on the codebase I'm
Browsers only ever get maximized to the left/right half screen for me too
Which is something macos should really improve on though, the ux is pretty bad compared to Windows and Linux there
I split a vs code window and a browser or a browser and terminal window on my 13" mb air. Usually need additional context on the same screen.
MacOS has a built in 4x4 window tiling which works for this purpose for me. I don’t find ever wanting more than 4 windows open on an ultrawide. Definitely not as powerful as something like xmonad but useful for the majority of my use cases.
Windows also has this kind of tiling built-in. It even comes with default keyboard shortcuts.
So does Mac: https://support.apple.com/en-us/guide/mac-help/mchl9674d0b0/....
Obnoxiously, it's part of the recent trend of overloading the Globe/Fn key, so it's hard to do with third-party keyboards.
Can you not change the shortcut?
Here to say ubuntu's got it built in as well
