Make your desired windows fullscreen, then swipe side to side on the trackpad (3 or 4 fingers) to switch between them almost instantly. One of the best features of MacOS, IMO.
- llampx 5y agoReally nice, unless you have a big-ish screen. It is jarring to have the entire screen slide back and forth, and of course a bad use of screen real estate.
- howinteresting 5y agoIf almost instantly means 700 milliseconds on a regular monitor and 950 milliseconds on a 21:9 monitor, sure, instantly.
- diffeomorphism 5y agoGnome does the same. Slow, jarring and pretty useless for mouse+keyboard or displays larger than laptop sized. "Just swish your virtual desktops around" seems extremely convoluted when I just want to switch between different windows.
- ccouzens 5y agoBut it doesn't work so well if you prefer to use a conventional external mouse. I was stuck using the shortcuts (ctrl + left or right arrow key), or clicking the Mission Control button I had to pin to the Dock.
