First of all, no matter how many displays I have and how big they are, I still end up with windows littered all over the place and I’m constantly moving them, and hiding apps to get things out of my way. I can see several problems that spaces could solve for me.
MISSION CONTROL PLUS MAC HOW TO
Now that we know what spaces are, we know how to make them, and we know how to move between them, let’s back up and answer the question of what problem are we trying to solve? If you prefer keystrokes control-left/right arrow will flip you between spaces. A four-finger swipe right/left on a Magic Trackpad or a two-finger swipe on a Magic Mouse will flip between them. That’s fun once or twice, but you’ll probably want a more efficient way to switch spaces.
If you repeat the gesture or function key dance to go into Mission Control, you can then tap on the space you want to enter at the top of the screen. To switch to the new space you just created, you have a couple of options. Now that you’ve created a new space with that application, you can no longer see it because you’re still in Desktop 1. You can modify that split ratio by sliding the drag handle between the two apps. If you drag a second app into that space, Mission Control will put the two apps in a 1/3-2/3 split view, and keep filling the screen. The app you drag up into its own space will be full-screen in that space. It will automatically create it when you let go. Another method to create a second space is to drag the app you want in a separate space up onto the area at the top of the screen. On the far right of the screen, you’ll see a + button inviting you to add another space. Once you have Mission Control activated, if you bring your cursor to the top of the screen, the area where “Desktop 1” was displayed will expand to reveal a thumbnail of your desktop with all of its open windows sprinkled all over it. I tested it and couldn’t find a combination to make the option available with Touch Bar. If you’ve got a Touch Bar Mac, you’re on your own figuring out which virtual key to use. You can also get to Mission Control with an Apple Keyboard using the F3 key.
On macOS, if you do a four-fingered swipe up on a Magic Trackpad or double-tap with two fingers on a Magic Mouse, you’ll reveal all of your open windows on your desktop, and the menu bar at the top will say “Desktop” (or Desktop 1 if you have an external display attached). What are Spaces? System Preferences Showing Mission Control Gestureīefore we get in too deep, let me explain what spaces are, just in case someone isn’t familiar with the concept. Don’t get me wrong, I like the idea of spaces but they seem to make my workflow much less efficient. I know a lot of people (like Bart) love spaces on macOS and couldn’t live without them, but for some reason, I cannot figure out how to make them work for me.
