If you use your Mac for more than browsing the occasional website or checking email, chances are you're working with multiple windows at a time — you might have seven Safari windows open with multiple tabs, a couple instances of your text editor of choice, a Messages window, Photoshop running in the background … I could go on. The point is all those windows start to get in the way, keeping you from completing the work you set out to do when you sat down at your Mac. With a few keyboard shortcuts, some trackpad and mouse gestures, and apps for managing your windows, you can take control of your workspace on macOS.

Dec 05, 2019  By pressing certain key combinations, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, press and hold one or more modifier keys and then press the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use Command-C (copy), press and hold the Command key, then the C key, then release both keys. I'm using 2 Displays with Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and I would like to have a keyboard shortcut to move the active window from one display to another (not space). I just found answers for moving.

Keyboard shortcuts

There are several shortcuts that can help you navigate macOS without ever having to lift your fingers from the keyboard.

• Command (⌘) + H: This hides the windows of the frontmost app.
  • Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + H: This hides the windows of all apps except for the frontmost app.
• Command (⌘) + M: This minimizes the frontmost window.
  • Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + M: This minimizes all the windows of the frontmost app.
• Command (⌘) + N: This opens a new window (or document, depending on the app).
• Command (⌘) + W: This closes the frontmost window.
  • Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + W: This closes all the windows of the frontmost app.
• Command (⌘) + Tab: This switches to the next open and most recently app.
• Shift (⇧) + Command (⌘) + Tilde: This switches to the next most recently used window of the frontmost app.
• Option (⌥) + Command (⌘) + D: This toggles on and off Dock Hiding. If you need a little more room on screen, consider hiding your Dock.
• Control (⌃) + Down Arrow: This shows all the windows of the frontmost application.
• Control (⌃) + F4: This moves the keyboard focus to the active window. Pressing it again moves keyboard focus to the next window.
• Control (⌃) + F5: This moves the keyboard focus to the floating window.
• Command (⌘) + `: This moves keyboard focus to the next window.

Trackpad and mouse gestures

You can use your Mac's trackpad or a Magic Mouse to activate certain shortcuts for windows management.

Trackpad gestures

• Quickly show your desktop by spreading your thumb and three fingers apart on the trackpad.
• Swipe up with three or four fingers to open Mission Control.
• Swipe down with three or four fingers to open App Exposé.
• Swipe left or right with three or four fingers to switch between desktop and app Spaces.

Mouse gestures

• Double tap with two fingers to launch Mission Control.
• Swipe left or right with two fingers to switch between desktop and app Spaces.

Using Mission Control

Mission Control is one of the best ways to manage your windows on macOS. It's built in at the system level and available with the tap of a key, the swipe of your trackpad, or the tap of your mouse. It gives you an overview of all your open windows, full-screen apps, and Spaces — making it quick and convenient to switch between them.

How do you activate Mission Control? Let me count the ways:

• Swipe up with three or four fingers on your trackpad.
• Double-tap on the top of your Magic Mouse with two fingers.
• If you kept it in your Dock, you can click the Mission Control icon.
• Tap the Mission Control key on your keyboard (looks like three rectangles of varying sizes).
• Use the keyboard shortcut Control (⌃) + Up Arrow.
• Click and drag a window to the top of the screen.

Working with Spaces

Mission Control allows you to create Spaces. Spaces are essentially different iterations of your desktop that can all display different apps, windows, and Split Views. If you find your current desktop is getting a little crowded but you don't want to close the apps and windows you've got open, you can create a brand new Space to work with. Some people will even create Spaces for different tasks — you might have your Space for writing, your Space for browsing the web, and your Space for editing photos.

How to add a Space

1. Launch Mission Control.

2. Click the Add Space icon (looks like a plus sign) to add a Space.

How to move a window to a Space

1. Launch Mission Control.

2. Drag a window of your choice to a desktop Space in the Spaces bar.

How to switch between Spaces

• Swipe left or right with three or four fingers on your trackpad.
• Swipe left or right with two fingers on your Magic Mouse.
• Use the keyboard shortcut Control (⌃) + Left Arrow to move to a space to the left.
• Use the keyboard shortcut Control (⌃) + Right Arrow to move to a space to the right.
• Launch Mission Control and click on a Space in the Spaces Bar.

How to organize Spaces*

1. Launch Mission Control.

2. Click and drag a Space left or right in the Spaces bar.

Windows within the Space you're closing won't be closed; they'll be moved to another open Space.

Working with Split View

Sometimes you want a more focused workspace. Split View in macOS lets you fill your screen with two apps, placed side by side. Here are some things you'll need to know if you're going to be working in Split View:

• You tell macOS which window you want to work in by clicking anywhere in that window.
• Need to see the menu bar? Just move your cursor to the top of the screen.
• Want the windows swapped? Just click and drag one of the windows to the other side of the screen.
• Want one window smaller than the other? Click and drag the vertical line between the two windows to adjust their width.

How to enter Split View

1. Hold down the full-screen button (looks like a green circle with two arrows pointing away from each other) in the upper left corner of an app window.
2. Drag the window to the left or right side of the screen.
3. Release the button, snapping the window into Split View.
4. Click on another window to bring it into Split View.

You can also bring an app into Split View using Mission Control. Simply launch Mission Control and drag a window onto the full-screen app Space.

Note: Some apps don't support Split View on macOS. You'll find a zoom button (looks like a green plus sign) in place of the full-screen button.

Exiting Split View

1. While in Split View, click the full-screen button on one of the windows.

   Add account to mail app mac. Add or remove email accounts in Mail on Mac. Use the Mail app to send, receive, and manage email for all of your email accounts in one location.

Or choose Apple menu System Preferences, click Internet Accounts, then click the type of account to add. When adding an account, if you get a message that your account provider requires completing authentication in Safari, click Open Safari and follow the sign-in.

Apps for window management

Sometimes the built-in offerings just aren't powerful enough for your needs. In that case, there are some third-party apps that can help you keep your windows exactly where you want them. Here are four of the most-popular, well-rated offerings from the Mac App Store!

Magnet

Magnet is a lightweight windows management tool that helps you snap your windows into predefined spaces. By dragging a window to the edge of your screen, Magnet will resize the window to half of your screen; drag a window to the corner of your screen and Magnet will resize the window into a quarter of your screen. Along with drag functionality, Magnet supports keyboard shortcuts.

Here are the features Magnet supports:

• Drag and snap functionality: halves, thirds, quarters, two-thirds, and full-screen

Moom

Moom is a powerful tool for moving, snapping, and zooming your windows. You can use keyboard shortcuts and hotspots to snap your windows into predefined spaces. Moom also lets you create and save window layouts so you needn't recreate your perfect desktop setup every time you head back to your Mac.

Here are the features Moom supports:

Divvy

Divvy is a windows management tool that approaches things a little differently. Instead of focusing on edge-snapping and predefined sizes, Divvy uses a grid system that lets you quickly 'divvy up' your screen real estate for the apps and windows you've got open.

You click on a window and then click and drag in the Divvy interface (a grid that represents your screen) to tell the app where to place your window. It's a quick, time-saving tool that focuses on quickly and easily organizing your windows across the available area of your screen.

Here are the features Divvy supports:

BetterSnapTool

BetterSnapTool is all about that edge-snapping. Drag your windows to one of the four corners or the top, left, and right sides of the screen to quickly resize and position your windows accordingly.

Here are the features BetterSnapTool supports:

Mac Os Desktop Spaces
