Post #207,447 by pwhysall 5/15/05 1:08:49 AM Reply	Quite a few, really. Half a dozen or so running applications, with probably 20 or 30 windows. The big problem went away with the advent of tabbed browsing and IRC :-) Screen is 1280x1024. If I'm "developing"[0] one of my Awful Perl Programs, then this goes up by about 10 or so (perl module, perl program, source data, source data, output, perl documentation 1, google window, run window, debugger) It's far, far faster for me to whack F9 and grab the window I want than it is for me to footle around with multiple desktops; all they do is provide me with a mechanism for losing windows.

And yet they seem to get from A to B pretty well. See what I mean?

Multiple desktops... - (pwhysall) - (8) - May 14, 2005, 04:51:35 PM EDT

How many programs do you keep open, on how large a screen? -NT - (broomberg) - (7) - May 14, 2005, 05:08:55 PM EDT

Sometimes - (folkert) - (2) - May 14, 2005, 09:04:06 PM EDT

Re: Multiwindow /multidesktop movement - (tjsinclair) - (21) - May 14, 2005, 07:19:33 PM EDT

Expose assumes many windows on a single screen - (broomberg) - (20) - May 14, 2005, 07:42:22 PM EDT

No, I think you expect it to be something its not - (bepatient) - (19) - May 14, 2005, 09:00:52 PM EDT

I'll never be a "typical" Mac user - (broomberg) - (18) - May 14, 2005, 11:58:33 PM EDT

Hmmmm - (tuberculosis) - (17) - May 16, 2005, 03:49:59 AM EDT

Do you use it? - (broomberg) - (11) - May 16, 2005, 06:33:50 AM EDT

No, I don't use multiple desktops - I don't think that way - (tuberculosis) - (10) - May 16, 2005, 10:26:51 AM EDT

Thanks - (broomberg) - (8) - May 16, 2005, 10:59:22 AM EDT

Tried ctrl-F4 yet? - (admin) - (7) - May 16, 2005, 11:10:32 AM EDT

Re: Tried ctrl-F4 yet? - (broomberg) - (6) - May 16, 2005, 11:31:04 AM EDT

ctrl-F4, or Apple-F4? -NT - (admin) - May 16, 2005, 11:46:48 AM EDT

I didn't find it bouncing to different desktops - (tuberculosis) - (3) - May 16, 2005, 12:26:30 PM EDT

I was using the other desktop manager. - (broomberg) - May 16, 2005, 01:34:44 PM EDT

Happens on X terms but not browser windows - (broomberg) - (1) - May 16, 2005, 02:53:27 PM EDT

So use regular terms - (tuberculosis) - May 16, 2005, 03:29:26 PM EDT

ctrl-F4 on mine cycles windows. - (admin) - May 17, 2005, 06:43:04 AM EDT

Why do you call "Apple-Key" Control? - (broomberg) - May 16, 2005, 11:21:11 AM EDT

I gotta go play with that. -NT - (pwhysall) - May 16, 2005, 06:56:10 AM EDT

actually it's "as soon as possible after 4/29" - (SpiceWare) - (1) - May 16, 2005, 02:21:33 PM EDT

OK, current version works now though - (tuberculosis) - May 16, 2005, 02:42:19 PM EDT

Have you looked at Virtue and/or Quicksilver? - (Another Scott) - (2) - May 14, 2005, 08:18:05 PM EDT

Virtue doesn't do anything better - (broomberg) - (1) - May 14, 2005, 08:59:53 PM EDT

I'm not seeing that (the flakiness) - (pwhysall) - May 15, 2005, 01:43:13 AM EDT

Re: Multiwindow /multidesktop movement - (pwhysall) - (7) - May 15, 2005, 01:33:43 AM EDT

We *know* he's a desktop weirdo - (admin) - May 15, 2005, 08:42:07 AM EDT

Witch install directions don't mesh with 10.4 - (broomberg) - (1) - May 15, 2005, 08:23:20 PM EDT

Bummer. I like Witch. - (pwhysall) - May 16, 2005, 12:53:39 AM EDT
