3 A locked window would never be used to open links from external sources (Twitter client, Mail app, Alfred, etc.). Here’s an idea how to solve this: I’d like to be able to “lock” a browser window. The browser would use the most recently used unlocked window to open those links. I constantly end up moving tabs between windows.Ī locked browser window would never be used to open links from external sources. 2 More often than not, this is not what I want. Whenever I open a new link (say, from my Twitter client), it creates a tab in the most recently used window of my default browser. When the same app is used for both research and testing, window management becomes even more of a hassle. This quickly adds four to six additional browser windows to the list (for mobile and desktop layout in multiple browsers), all of which are carefully sized and positioned. When I do web development, the browser is also used to test the site I work on. Most of the tabs in these windows come from links I click in my Twitter or RSS client.ĭepending on the situation, there may be several more windows that acts as reminders for things I want to write about, products I consider buying, etc. I have one or more additional windows to collect stuff I found online but haven’t read yet. There may be several of these windows, separated by task. One window is usually reserved for the task I’m currently working on it contains relevant documentation, blog posts, Stack Overflow answers, etc.
My window management habits are nowhere near Siracusean levels, 1 but at any given time I do have several browser windows open, with multiple tabs each.
