# notes regarding my workflow and system use
## workspaces layout
idea from the ThePrimeagen: designated workspace/tags/desktop per app/purpose
| key | app/focus
|-----|-----------
| 1. | tbd
| 2. | music making - misc
| 3. | music making - daw
| 4. | listening/wathcing (any music, audio, or video)
| 5. | games
| 6. | comms (emails, chats, av/calls)
| 7. | web browser
| 8. | primary terminal (with tmux)
| 9. | general - misc (catch-all)
| 0. | system monitor (htop)
- the "key" column above lists the key to press (+ mod) to switch to a tag/workspace
- programs which i'm likely to use with peripherals (i.e. trackpad, mouse, stylus,
etc) should be where i can navigate those screens with one hand
- for me, my left hand would still be on the keyboard, so: workspaces 1 through 5
### usage notes
- my default approach is to run program/client windows in fullscreen
- note: on macOS, this is not mac's notion of fullscreen with windows essentially
moved to a new desktop; instead, i just want the windows taking up all of the
normal screen space (excluding any menu bar at the top of the screen)
- mental model for navigating windows:
- each window is in a stack
- keybinds: mod + j/k, to move down/up the stack
- each tab is in a circular list (imagine it is horizontal)
- keybinds: mod + h/l, to move left/right in this list
- note: in primary terminal, i'm running tmux, which has its own navigation approach,
refer to the tmux.conf and tmux-session-init scripts
- for the workspaces where i keep multiple apps, i try to maintain consistent order of
those apps within the stack of each respective workspace
