I feel like my eyes can only look at one thing at a time. I just have shortcuts to switch between programs.
Why do you prefer using a tiling WM and how do you use the tiling functionality in your workflow?
Honestly, if you’re using 3 monitors, you’re kind of using a single display split into a minimum of 3 tiles.
Tiling window managers support a workflow with one large monitor that you can split into n tiles whichever way you want without touching your mouse.
I’m not saying it’s objectively better or anything, but once you get past the learning curve, having to manually size all of your windows is a chore. I love having my browser window open full screen, pressing a hotkey, and having a text editor open next to it taking up 1/3rd of the screen, with the browser resized to fit.
Mostly, things are full screen, and I love that my WM launches apps in full screen automatically, unless there’s another window open on the workspace I’m targeting.
And when they’re not in full screen, it’s all handled smoothly without me ever having to take my hands off the keyboard.
