"Mission Control removes the confusing grid that previously plagued Spaces. Where a user with four spaces could previously end up on any of the other three with a single keystroke, he or she is now presented with a much less confusing choice between one or two."
I liked the ability to traverse a 2x2 grid of Spaces with a single keyboard stroke. Now, if I set up four screens with the new Mission Control in Lion, I have to press the right arrow four times to move from screen one --> four. The result is I only use two screens at most, meaning they get quite cluttered.
- snprbob86 15y agoYou can still jump directly to a numbered space by pressing "control" and any number key. This is default behavior as far as I know, but I might have switched a setting for it. For consistent behavior, disable "Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use" in the mission control system preferences.
- watmough 15y agoI use three spaces. From left to right, browsing space, then Xcode space and finally gimp and inkscape space. Control and an arrow key moves me to either of the other two. Sadly, Lion doesn't seem to wrap around, so this isn't supported. It's been a while since I tried Lion, maybe I should give it another shot.
