notes regarding my workflow and system use
workspaces layout
idea from the ThePrimeagen: designated workspace/tags/desktop per app/purpose
current layout
| key | app/focus |
|---|---|
| 1. | ideas/drawing (gimp) |
| 2. | music makeing - 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) |
- note: 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
- 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
- each window is in a stack
- my default approach is to run 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)
- for the workspaces where i keep multiple apps, i try to maintain consistent order of those apps within the stack of each respective workspace
