Yes, they can be adjusted, it just requires multiple steps. The reason I didn’t explain it to you is because it’s exhausting and I don’t remember off the top of my head. I have adjusted how to open files on my Apple machines in the past, as well as the other things you mentioned, you’ve got to look it up, especially since they like to occasionally change the settings menu. If I gave you a tutorial it might not be totally up to date. Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok all have settings tutorials for Apple.
I know you said you don’t need a tutorial right after that, but the context of you saying that was another user explaining that it can be changed but they didn’t have time to provide you tech support.
I happened to be in a position where I could quickly get the information they weren’t able to, so I did.
What kinds of window management changes would you like to make? Iirc you can make some decently radical adjustments using brew but I’m not extremely knowledgeable about them because I like to keep it normal.
I want it to stop hanging up when I drag windows from one monitor to the other.
When I switch screens I want it to switch when I click on it and not click, wait, and click again.
I want the dock to disappear and stop consuming screen real estate, but I also want it to come back up when I need it.
I need the red x to actually close the window instead of just minimizing it.
All of these things sometimes happen and sometimes don’t, with seemingly no reason, which is the most frustrating part, and this inconsistent behavior spans iOS as well.

No, they can’t be adjusted. I don’t need a tutorial.

If you wanna know anything else just lmk.
I already had the information but thank you.

For reference I’m running Sequoia on a 2017 iMac.
