"Go to space X" #1318

Open IanQS opened 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I see that I can throw a window from one space to another and have the focus follow. I'm wondering if it's possible to just swap the focus to another window e.g

Space1: firefox, vim

# Throw vim to Space 2

Space1: firefox
Space2: vim (now focused here)

# Go to Space1

Is there such a capability? I ran into a similar issue with yabai

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

The ability to move to a different space without first throwing a window there.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I looked through the commands and it doesn't look like this is supported in any of the existing shortcuts

Sorry, I'm rather new to a mac (came from Linux with i3) so I'm rather new to all of this. I ran into the same issue described above while using Yabai so I thought I'd give Amethyst a shot

You can assign shortcuts to specific spaces on macOS settings, such as control + 1,2,3,4, etc. But I agree it'd be helpful to have a replacement for control + arrow keys on amethyst, as those on macOS have a weird 0.5s delay where you can't do anything.

I've been hesitant to do it in the past, but I'm thinking now it's kind of reasonable. The point about the delay in the arrow commands is a good one.
