macOS fullscreen mode breaks reference window visibility for focused workers
Developers and designers who work in fullscreen apps like Xcode or Figma cannot keep a reference window — documentation, video tutorial, or stream — persistently visible without leaving fullscreen or switching spaces. macOS picture-in-picture only works within Safari and has no cross-app persistence. This forces repeated context switches that break deep work sessions.
