Introducing Aerospace into my Workflow

Introduction

I recently introduced aerospace and sketchybar into my workflow. While sketchybar is just something for aesthetics and aerospace has drastically changed the way I move across my mac. Aerospace has been something that I have thoroughly enjoyed working with and setting up, and I believe the base config and keymappings work wonders. Adding this in addition to tmux and nvim has definitly increased my productivity even though I don’t think it is a good metric it allows me to keep everything organized in a way that works best for me. I used think that I could only get good work done with at least another monitor plugged into my mac, but aerospace has made it so much easier for me to use just my Mac by itself which has helped me just be more structured in my everyday.

Setup

I just followed the set up through the docs and haven’t changed much to my aerospace.toml I think the keymappings are incredibly straight forward even with a few artifacts I get with multi monitor setups when they’re avaible to me. I honestly find that option + <key> is great and works well especially with tmux leader being ctrl + a.

tmux leader is ctrl + b but like many others I have replaced my caps lock with ctrl and b with a

Final thoughts

I definitly think that it is better showcasing these with video examples, but I wanted to write about this new addition. I’ve been wanting to try more advanced linux distros for a while, but while I am without my personal desktop having the window manager and sketchybar has been a great way to scrath that itch. I think I will eventually make some more youtube videos instead of just streaming myself writing code with background noise (music). I’ll also need to find 30 minutes to upload my dotfiles. I’ve made alot of recent changes to my overall workflow not including coding that I’ll write a blog post about soon. Thanks for reading.
