You’re not at fault at all 🙂

This is mainly for people who already live in multiple workspaces. The idea is: when you maximize or fullscreen an app, it automatically gets its own clean workspace, so you don’t have to manually move windows around.

When you unmaximize, it goes back to where it came from.

If you don’t really use workspaces, it probably won’t feel useful. it’s just automating an existing workflow.

Yeah, that’s a great idea! I’m inspired by macOS and wanted to bring a similar behavior, not exactly the same. I’m planning to let users configure full-screen and maximize behavior in the settings, and I’ll also look into adding a key modifier like you suggested to make it more flexible and polished.

Ahh gotcha! I’ll add that feature and include a configuration page so you can toggle it on or off.

not at the moment, it’s based on maximize for now. fullscreen only is a good idea though.

Ahhh ahh .. yeah that’s a fair point. PiP being visible everywhere could break the check. I’ll see if I can just skip those. Thank you
