Just wanted to point out that disabling SIP is not required to use most of yabai's window management features. You do lose some features[0] but I've found the only ones I really care about is focusing spaces, and you can create keyboard shortcuts for that in System Settings.

I want to echo this as well. I use a 2nd tool to help me add additional i3-like keyboard shortcuts as well (I have the ability to "stack" windows with Alt-S and rotate through them with Alt-J and Alt-K).

It's called skhd https://github.com/koekeishiya/skhd

I forgot where the script for the stacking is. I can look that up separately, but I'm on mobile atm.


Please post it if possible. I couldn’t figure out the stacking API, and I miss that feature from i3.


Here it is. There is no visualization of the stack, which apparently Stackline in the other comment supports, but I don't tend to need that. Just being able to move between the windows is good enough for me.

They may be referring to stackline https://github.com/AdamWagner/stackline

I've used it in the past, it was very aesthetically pleasing but did not work consistently enough for me to use day to day.


That’s good to know, thanks for clarifying that!
