Pull and App (rather than being pulled)

[rpc31]

One of my biggest annoyance with cmd-tab is that apps are too much little smart when it comes to desktop occupancy

• If an App (ex. mail) is assigned to non desktop (by default) and opened in desktop 1 (ex. personal). If I cmd-tab (or alt-tab) this app from desktop 2 (ex. work), then I am "pulled" myself to desktop 1, losing context of what I wanted to write.
• If an App (ex. mail) is assigned to all desktops, then, let say I am writing an email on desktop 1 (personal) and quickly want to see an operation being run on chrome on desktop 2 (work), then Mail is "pulled" with me and I have to hide it to see what I wanted to see.

How to you people cope with that? Is there a way, when I use command tab to select a running macOS app on another desktop, to "pull" and bring the app to my current desktop rather than me being pulled to where lives the app? (or to automatically "hide" the focused app when I switch to another desktop?)

Hi,

This is how macOS works, and AltTab can't change it. I believe you may be able to achieve the workflow you want with yabai. It is a full window management system on macOS. It requires intrusive installation though, as it's the only way to hack the OS and bend its functionality to the user's will.

Thank you
