Huh? When I'm uberproductive I have, at least, these things running:

* iTerm (3+ windows)

* TextMate (Multiple windows)

* Eclipse or XCode

* Safari (Multiple windows)

* Firefox (Multiple windows)

* AquaMate Studio (Multiple windows)

* Charles

* iTunes

* Photoshop

* Finder (Multiple windows)

If you hesitate when navigating the flow, it's easy to get lost. It gets even worse when you are using a lot of java apps because they always seem to refocus when you tab back to them, which can throw your flow for a loop.

By turning on OS X's Single App Mode, that hasn't happened to me yet. I definitely noticed an increase in focus.

I am happy for you that you are able to be so focused, but one size does not fit all.



Thanks for pointing me to Single App Mode, I didn't know that it existed. So I learn something new every day! (Espacially from reading HN ;-)

To enable Single app mode:

defaults write com.apple.dock single-app -bool true

killall Dock


What's AquaMate Studio?


Sorry, I meant Aqua Data Studio.

It's a pretty good general purpose SQL query tool (the best I've found for PostgreSQL anyways).

Got it, thanks.
