Some window Resize & Moving action don't work in Sequoia 15.0

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior

After Mac Sequoia 15.o update some of the "window resize & moving" actions don't work anymore. These are the ones that I have identified so far:

• Maximize Window Right Half
• Maximize Window Left Half
• Maximize Window
• Resize Window to Top Right Quarter/Corner
• Resize Window to Top Left Quarter/Corner
• Resize Window to Bottom Left Quarter/Corner
• Resize Window to Bottom Right Quarter/Corner

in case the native snapping options don't work for you, you can always switch back to the classic snapping behavior::

FYI, after installing macOS Sequoia 15.0 and using Better Snap Tool version 1.9.12, "Native System Resizing," I get a shortened border around all my application windows. (see screenshot)

However, if I use the "Classic System Resizing," all my application windows expand fully without shortening borders. (see screenshot)

Same here!
Have been a beta tester for Sequoia and everything have worked as it should. But after the update to 15.0 all shortcuts that include the numerical keyboard doesn't work (which for me is Maximize Window, Move window to next monitor, Resize to left and right, and Corners).
BetterSnapTool version: 1.9.12

@jpw, see Snapping Windows not expanding edges of windows - #2 by Andreas_Hegenberg

@AndreasCarlsson does classic snapping mode work for you? Which language is your system set to?

Yes it does. Should have tried that first, sorry!
(It's strange though, all system settings for this are turned off)

PS. Swedish btw.

Was having the same problem (English). Shortcuts for maximizing etc. stopped working. The "Use classic... resizing" fixed it for me.

Do you maybe still have the native tiling enabled? BTT/BST's native integration only works if the native snapping is disabled in System Settings => Desktop & Dock

Thanks for the quick tip. I turned off the three settings and returned to "Native System Resizing" instead of using "Classic System Resizing."

I don't see a setting for "native snapping" in "Desktop & Dock". What is it called? There is a "Tile by dragging windows to screen edges" which is already disabled (it says "window tiling requires 'displays have separate spaces' to be enabled").

My "Resize to Left/Middle/Right Third" (mapped to ⌥+1/2/3) are working. But "Maximize Window" (⌥+a), "Maximize Window Left/Right Half" (⌥+q/w) are not working. Thank you.

ah if displays have separate spaces is disabled you must use the classic snapping (in the BTT snapping settings). It should already do that automatically, but maybe there is a bug with this scenario

I just updated to macOS 15.6 and the "moving & resizing modifier keys" functionality does not work at all. I tried changing some settings, in case that solves it, but that's not the case. Any idea what might cause this?

I'm on bettertouchtool version 5.548,2025080602.
It might be related to the version update that also happened in a similar timeframe, since this was merged 10 hours ago: bettertouchtool 5.548 by BrewTestBot · Pull Request #222853 · Homebrew/homebrew-cask · GitHub

14

yes probably an issue with that alpha, most likely already fixed in 5.549 (I would recommend to not use homebrew for alpha releases)

15

Thanks for your reply! I wasn't aware that I was using alpha releases to begin with.
Any way to still use brew but stick to regular updates instead of the alpha channel?

16

Unfortunately I don't know much about brew :-/ I had thought they would use the stable channel appcast by default.

17

I also expected brew to use the stable channel.

I just updated to the recent alpha: version 5.549 (2025080603) and the "moving & resizing modifier keys" functionality is entirely restored. Thanks :slight_smile:

18

Can you please link me the stable and alpha appcasts? I'm happy to make a PR to homebrew. I also had to revert to the stable version because of clipboard issues. :folded_hands:

19

It would make sense for brew to also use the macupdater appcast:

Stable: https://updates.folivora.ai/appcast_macupdater.xml

Less Stable but better than alpha:
https://updates.folivora.ai/appcast_macupdater_manual.xml

Alpha:
https://updates.folivora.ai/alpha_new.xml

Can you tell me what kind of clipboard manager issues you are seeing?

Actually I found it on the forum https://updates.folivora.ai/appcast_manual.xml. I'm going use that for the regular formula "bettertouchtool" and then use the current homebrew formula for "bettertouchtool@alpha". Let's see if homebrew approves it. Will post a when it's done.

Edit: Andreas has linked the info above.

Wow that was a quick reply! Thanks. I will get working on it using the macupdater version for stable.

My clipboard history is being deleted sometimes when I by mistake press escape to quit the clipboard manager.
