i’ve been thinking of what the most efficient way to use your monitor or screen space is? do you usually just use windows that cover the whole screen? or how do you divide your windows and apps on the screen? do you leave for example firefox window cover the whole screen? and just alt + tab to other programs or apps?

    I have 3 27" 4k monitors that I use for my work, as a programmer. I used the Power Toys utility to create snap zones to contain my usual apps. I like to have my main code window take up the entire center monitor plus half of each of the “wing” monitors, then I can use tabs to view 5 or 6 code files at once. The remaining space on the far right is for work IM, and the far left is used for Firefox and discord.
