The Fugue

For almost a year and a half I have used OS X as my primary user interface. I don't switch back to Linux for the ironic reason that keyboard shortcuts are more useful and usable in OS X. But I've always missed virtual desktops, until now.

I always figured it really couldn't be all that hard to do this right, and it boggled my mind that nobody ever did. I tried a few that didn't do it right, and doing it wrong is worse than not doing it. But VirtueDesktops does a fantastic job. I can lay out my desktops in a grid, I can use the keys I want to use to switch, and if I switch applications I'm taken to the desktop hosting that application. It's perfection. Finally.
