| Mark I. | This is why I <3 my 30" monitor: |
|
|
| Jamis B. | head explodes |
| Mark I. | The 7 main windows are cmd 1-7. |
Super handy. |
|
| Josh P. | Do you have a program that titles those windows for you? :P |
| Mark I. | |
I have hotkeys for each window position. |
|
So I open a window and hit ctrl-cmd-uparrow then hit a-g, depending on the location. |
|
Once I had them all laid out, I just saved a window group in Terminal. |
|
And it’ll open them all in the same spots. |

on 14 Aug 09where’s the hi-res version so we can actually see the desktop?

on 14 Aug 09I’m guessing the hi-res version is unavailable because those terminals are chock-full of sekrits :)

on 14 Aug 09I was going to get a 30” monitor, but I was afraid I’d get a neck injury trying to find my mouse cursor. Also it’s hecka expensive.
MercuryMover looks great – I’ve been struggling with how to manage terminal windows, and this looks like a good solution.
Quicksilver + MercuryMover = no more carpal tunnel.

on 14 Aug 09haha the neck injury was funny.
But you ruined my happiness 37Signals guys… I was so happy with my dual 22” monitors… you’ve been raising the bar over and over… :-) My next office will be inside a movie theater.
I would like to see the high-res of it…. it’s just curiosity.

on 14 Aug 09I use SizeUp http://www.irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/
It seems to be doing the same thing, but I will give mercury a try, so thanks

on 14 Aug 09Yotam: SizeUp is great on smaller screens, but loses some on flexibility on larger ones since you’re limited to a 2×2 set of partitions. A number of people, myself included, have suggested to the author of SizeUp that he make it more flexible and allow for arbitrary grids and he seems open to that, so I’m hopeful we’ll see that in a future release. For now, I’m really enjoying MercuryMover.

on 14 Aug 09Are you actually going to put a picture of your desktop ? Really at that resolution, your point is moot.
Ryan
on 14 Aug 09…Or his point is the fact that he can tile so many Terminal windows at once on the 30” Display.

on 14 Aug 09For any linux users out there, openbox has a similar keyboard window management feature with key mappings like MoveToEdgeSouth and GrowToEdgeNorth, search for ClaysViStyleSpatial for an excellent example.

on 15 Aug 09Ok, for those who wanted a full-size screenshot, here you go. Fair warning, this one is sanitized and boring with just a bunch of empty windows.

on 15 Aug 09I ♥ my 23” Cinema display – it’s a nice compromise. Besides my MacBook Air won’t drive a 30”

on 15 Aug 09Slightly off topic, I see Jamis was able to post a message in bold text, and when Josh was announced as joining David was able to post a message with a red background.
Are these little Campfire Easter Eggs or are they en route to a web app near us?
Stef
on 15 Aug 09Any Windows alternatives to MercuryMover? Work is not exactly mac friendly…
JF
on 15 Aug 09Des: Campfire doesn’t support text styling. Jamis added asterisks around “head explodes” and on this blog adding asterisks around something bolds it. That’s why you see it in bold here.

on 17 Aug 09Hey Mark,
I see your running synergy as well. What other machine are you connected to? I love synergy it is a life saver when needing cross platform machines.

on 17 Aug 09I don’t know about a 30” monitor, I’ve got 4×17” each running at 1280×1024. A grand total of 5120×1024 :)
Great for developing :- email on one, editor on another, output on the third and monitoring sessions (error_log, top, MySQL process list, etc) on the fourth.
Does me fine…

on 19 Aug 09Ryan: I’m connected to my laptop with Synergy. I agree, it’s a great app.
