I've spent some time evaluating MacOS tiling apps. Rectangle is one of them. I've so far given up on all of them because they lack the ability to directionally reassign focus.

So like if I have windows in four corners, and focus is in the bottom left, I want something like ?-k ?-l to move focus up and then right. Now focus should be in the upper right window. Have I missed it? Does rectangle make this possible?

Amethyst (xmonad inspired) gets close, but I want directionality, not cycles within cycles.

So far my solution is to just use i3 on my desktop and have a bunch of ssh sessions into my macbook, which is fine until I do a clipboard-yank through the ssh session and wonder why I can't paste the contents into the browser on the linux side.
