โ macOS : Whichspace โ
I have been using macOS for almost 9 years, and never used the workspaces feature (Not sure when it was introduced)
But after looking at Omakub I started using this feature.
Essentially, I divided the apps as follows. (Or at least that is what I wanted ๐) Each app (window) on its own workspace.
- Alacritty
- Firefox
- Vivaldi
- Whatsapp and Telegram (Social apps) together on separate workspace.
But somehow, some of the browser windows (I think new ones, after I moved existing windows to different workspace) moved to different ones.
Suddenly, it started feeling “jumpy”
(I think) I eventually figured out how to ensure that all the firefox windows remain in the same workspace 1
While looking at all these, I came across Amethyst (Still exploring, maybe upcoming post) and also WhichSpace (finally app mentioned in the title of this post ๐)
This is really tiny utility. It shows the desktop number (like 1, 2, 3, 4) that is all.
But it is useful (at least I think so)

In the dock, right click on Firefox icon -> Options -> Assign to -> This Desktop. The default is
None
hence the seemingly erratic behaviour. ↩︎
