In Windows 10 and 11, after you create another virtual desktop, you can easily move between them with built-in Win+Ctrl+Left/Right Arrow. It may not be as perfectly tuned as many would like, but it works well enough.

In case of macbook there are probably shortcuts but trackpad is convenient.

  On MacOS you can assign your own shortcuts to switch to specific desktops as well, instead of having to go through each of them individually. Under Keyboard => Shortcuts => Mission Control it give you an option to assign hotkeys for them. I believe the default shortcuts to move left or right a space is ⌃← and ⌃→.

You can disable the switch animation, which makes it much nicer to use. Just instantly changes the content on all your monitors then. It even works with fullscreen applications on different desktops...

  How do you do that? I've noticed animations seem to be quicker in the win11 22h2 update, which makes them much less annoying, but I still prefer the instant change of i3.

  Yep, under Accessibility => Display => Toggle the Reduce motion button. It is much better but still not instant. The only way I'm aware of how to make it instantaneous is by disabling SIP and using Yabai [1]. [1] https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai https://github.com/koekeishiya/yabai

    Uh, they're talking about Windows; you're talking about MacOS.

Yes, that's right, but you can't quickly jump between windows 3 & 7 by doing something simple like Win+Shift+7 / Win+Shift+3

  Can you please make some sample? I was trying to imagine the use case and couldn't make great one. My current way - I use Alt-Tab mostly and Win+<number> sometimes. In addition I have Powertoys Run (Window Walker) to search through terminals when number of terminals windows goes > 15 or 20.
