Snapping, tiling, and workspaces

Silent educational animation. Illustrative example, not a live desktop inspection.

Opening: Lattices / Field Guide. ORGANIZE YOUR MAC. Snapping, tiling, and workspaces. Three jobs that window tools can help with.

[0–10 seconds] Snap a window. You choose the position. Put the selected window on the left.

[10–20 seconds] Tile automatically. Rules arrange the windows. The layout adapts as a managed window joins.

[20–30 seconds] Group a workspace. Keep related work together. Windows, projects, or sessions share a context.

[30–40 seconds] Choose the job. Place one. Arrange several. Return to a context. Tools overlap; workspace behavior varies by app.

On-screen diagram labels: Snapping; Place one; Automatic tiling; Arrange several; Workspace; Return to a context; Planning; Browser; Notes; Terminal; Tools may combine these jobs.
