I often have many app windows open at once - Outlook draft emails, multiple spreadsheets and presentations. Navigating and switching between various app windows has always been a pain point of mine and often relying on 3rd party apps to help. Mission Control is not particularly useful when you have multiple windows of the same app open that all look similar to one another visually.
I was excited by the prospect of Stage Manager to help multitasking across various apps simultaneously, however feel that its made it even harder by not incorporating existing multitasking features into the Stage Manager experience.
For example having multiple app windows running side by side using Split View breaks the link between windows open together in Stage Manager.
Also, when you have multiple windows minimised in Stage Manager its not possible to select specific windows to open without opening all.
In addition to this, upgrading to Ventura has meant that I'm no longer able to use third party window resizing app Magnet to efficiently resize windows (a longstanding Mac pain point of mine). Magnet doesn't function well with Stage Manager as the left side of the screen can't be used to 'snap' windows any longer.
Any tips on how to efficiently navigate and multitask multiple app windows at once? I was hoping Stage Manager would be the answer, but not quite yet.
