![]() I, too, used to use Stickies, they just seemed conceptually like the right thing, but Apple's Stickies really don't do the job - if you have to reboot the Stickies will all open back up on the first Desktop, which is not what you want. I am using a clunky floating sticky with the name of the space in each space and a KM macro to switch to that named sticky from the dock.Īre there any plans to tie a name to each space? But I would give it a try anyway.My main flaw with spaces - that of names for each space. ![]() But, since it only produces floating screenshots, it’s not exactly what you are looking for. ![]() Occasionally the app is surprisingly useful. That is, the floating window is not getting in the way, like it usually happens with floating stuff. The UI of the app is pretty clever: if you hover with the mouse over your floating screenshot it automatically disappears. ![]() If you make a screenshot with Screenfloat the screenshot will automatically float above other windows. There is another app that I’m using from time to time: Screenfloat.īasically it is only a screenshot tool. It works like a standalone web browser and it gives you a floating window, indeed. But the contained version is even older than the one from Github furthermore the installer is not correctly code-signed and Softonic is not a trustworthy source, so I didn’t run the installer. You can also download a precompiled installer from Softonic. (It seems it is supposed to work with EasySIMBL.) I managed to compile it from the source ( at Github) but didn’t manage to make the bundle work. There used to be Afloat, but it hasn’t been updated in the last 6 years or so. I got it now, I think: you are looking for a floating window, right? Thanks very much for giving my question some thought. In that specific situation, I find that window resizing is simply an overkill. Note that in all situations I describe, I am working in a 'major' app (Pages, Browser, etc) and simply want to keep a small window of a small app on top for a short amount of time. There are many other situations: writing a letter and keeping my calculator app on top, being in Finder and keeping a drag and drop app on top. Simply clicked on the icon and that window stayed on top until one re-clicked (unpinned) on the pin icon. In Windows there used to be a small app which created a pin icon in the top right corner of each window. In that situation, I find that resizing windows is too much. I know how useful it is because years ago, in Windows, I used it all the time.Įxample: I am working in the KBM forum and want to make a few labels based on comments in the forum - I want to read the forum and make labels at the same time. Although widows can be modified, in certain circumstances it does not have the ease and flexibility of simply pinning / unpinning (ie keep on top) windows. Yes, resizing windows is an option and I use it all the time to setup my workspace with certain apps (like Ulysses windows in Appleiner's example), but it's an overkill in some situations. I should perhaps have said 'until further notice' keep on top I did not express myself clearly and apologize. I understand the KBM screen actions and already use Moom and SizeUp.
