@christophepas That's actually the only gesture that I'm not quite happy with. Most intuitive should be pinching in, but that should be reserved for close and quit and I did not want to require three pinches for quitting from fullscreen.
So to answer your question, you can use the same gestures you use to enter fullscreen — double tap, pinching out and swiping up (no modifier key required to exit).
yeah, it's great answer, I am clear on how to recover a fullscreen to max window mode @christophepas @chrfyi
Hey @chrfyi, congrats on launching this awesome app. These are my wishlist. It would be awesome if you add it to the app 🤗
- Allow to disable a particular swipe. I only use a small set of swipe I can remember of. It's kinda frustrating when I accidentally swipe on something unexpected.
- Allow to select action for each swipe. Swipe up to maximize and swipe down to restore are more intuitive to me. I barely minimize windows.
- Also there's no ways to restore a window without Dock icon. An example is Swish preference window. If there's no Dock icon, swipe down on title bar will restore another app in the background.
- Disable swipe on popover windows by default. I swipe on emoji picker window while my cursor is at the top border, and the emoji window disappear.
Hey @huynhminhdang, thanks for the feedback!
- Individual disabling might be coming, maybe in form of a simple switch next to each category.
- Full configurability is a different beast and might make the app too complicated for the average user.
- There are two ways to do this: You can always drag the window to unsnap and I just added a 'center' gesture in v1.0.1 (double tap w/ modifier) which also unsnaps.
- I'm aware of the emoji picker issue. Normally I could simply blacklist that internally, but the picker becomes a full window when dragged out. So I'm investigating how to just block popovers. Stay tuned!
@thatakke Thanks! Windows support is very unlikely unfortunately. What do you mean by switching tabs in Chrome? I'm working on support for closing tabs in Chrome tho.
@chrfyi Really flawless app. My only feedback is for the menubar icon to be less "fuzzy" — it looks out of place next to other menubar icons.
@dscos I'm glad you like it! I know what you mean regarding the icon. Maybe I'll come up with something more 'solid'. You can always disable the menubar icon completely (that's what I do), either by cmd+dragging or in the preference window.
Great tool; what would make it even greater is the ability to disable gestures on the Magic Mouse.
This looks great! But how does the licensing work? Will I have to pay for a license for each device I want to use Swish for?
@jonascisum Licensing for Swish is handled by Paddle, which is the de-facto standard for indie Mac apps. By default, I think, licenses can be activated on 2 devices. Do you need more than that?
Love this app. It solves the problem of window management in Mac.
Pros:Very Responsive and works really well Once you get used to it, its hard to look back.
Cons:None so far. (Impact on battery needs to be tested)
Just wanted to say that I love you guys for making this! This almost makes file management fun hahaah
