How to Use the Yabai Window Tiling App on Mac OS Ventura

Amazed at Yabai Window Tiling on MacOS Ventura.

Yabai was pretty easy to set up. It’s all controlled by a config file. I did this in Neovim although you could use any good TextEditor.

There’s a whole load of easy shortcuts which I set up using the Application SKHD, which was installed the same why through Homebrew.

When using this to my full use of your displays and all the screen space available. There are short cuts which will arrange tiled Applications on your different workspaces.

It is is the same keyboard combinations HJKL as you use when editing text in Neovim. So it’s easy to remember the keyboard shortcuts to move windows and swap windows from place to place.

If you want to make a window to go to the left to use the letter H, to the right with the letter L, up and down with the letters K and J.

Exclude Apps Permanently or Temporarily Make Them Float

In the config file you can set an app to be ignored by Yabai. Or there is a shortcut which will allow you to make an application go to maximise to take the full screen or to float on top of the underlying Yabai organisation.
