Ah yes, the monday morning little ritual: try to move down a dozen lines, maybe half a page, scroll a bit and realized I moved 3 pixels. Try again scrolling a bit faster and end up zooming by 3 pages. Repeat in the other direction. Use the scroll bar out of desperation after 3 failed attempts.

Gets a bit better once the coffee and the muscle memory kick in, but I really wish Apple would give some love to common old-fashioned rodents instead of letting their users having to rely on community-made apps to have a decent behavior for those. I'm probably not the only one using a laptop provided by an employer with fairly strict rules about the installation of "unnecessary" software.

I'm a first time MacOS user thanks to issued equipment. Three months in and I hate it. Scroll acceleration is definitely in the top five list of reasons why.

The goofy keyboard shortcuts, the crummy window switching (switching between applications is different than switching between instances of an application), and wretched window management (inconsistent behavior around maximizing windows-typically bad-and no half or quarter screen snapping) are also on the list.

I'd be much happier with a Linux or Windows machine.

Funny because I can’t stand alt tab in Windows anymore. Alt tabbing through a bunch of windows just to go back to the other app I want to use. It used to be worse before tab systems collapsed all the window spam.

These days I like the distinction between tabbing through an app vs across apps. Only peeve is that alt tabbing to a minimized app should restore it.

Contexts.app (paid software) restores window/Linux alt1tab behavior.

Rectangle.app (OSS) does window snapping and does tiling-lite (which is what I want). I forget the name of the actually tiling WM.

Hammerspoon+custom script off github will get you drag move/resize functionality.

I’d recommend grabbing BetterSnapTool for window snapping. https://folivora.ai/bettersnaptool
