Hotkey switching between full screen apps - Help!


Recommended Posts

Sorry if this is a newbie question, but I have done multiple searches on the Alfred site and forums and can't find an answer.

 

I would like to switch between full screen apps with a hot key. I have figured out how to make hot keys and switch between regular windowed apps. 

 

Is it possible for a hot key to switch back and forth between two (or more) full screen apps? Do I need to change some setting in Mission Control?

 

Currently, the behavior of the hot key switches to the menu bar for the app but not the window. Particularly for Safari.

 

Is there a trick? Seems like it should be do-able.

Is there some reason not to use ⌘-Tab?  That's the standard hotkey (in Mac OS X) for switching between apps, and it will switch between fullscreen apps as well....

 

Alternatively, try using three or four fingers and swiping to the right or left on your trackpad (assuming you have a trackpad).

I messed with this for a while. The setting in Mission Control needs to be changed to: "When switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application". 

 

Hot key full screen app switching appears to be working now.
