Turn desktop widgets off and the setting "click wallpaper to reveal desktop"
That doesn't seem to help me.. I'll keep trying things. Maybe I'll find a solution.
Have you any items on the desktop? I am asking because I don't have this issue, and I don't use desktop to store files.
I have createDesktop=false in defaults.
Just for funzies:
> ls -al ~/Desktop/
drwx------ distek staff 64 B Fri Jun 21 17:57:27 2024 .
drwxr-x--- distek staff 2.3 KB Fri Jun 21 17:57:55 2024 ..

This is after:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
To ensure no files get written without my consent.
As well as:

However, the problem still remains.
This occurs on my SIP disabled Mac, as well as my work SIP-very-much-enabled Mac.

It's weird.
I have got the same problem here: tried to yabai -m display --focus west
it won't response if that display (or space, more precisely) is empty.
I've tried everything until I saw your post... which I am pretty sure that click wallpaper to reveal desktop
thing I've always set to OFF
.
So, instead of keeping it off, I try to turn it on to see if some happens... and suddenly, Everything works again!
Thanks a lot. Saved me :/
From the readme (and wiki):
Some people disable the Finder Desktop window using an undocumented defaults write command. This breaks focusing of empty spaces and should be avoided when using yabai. To re-activate the Finder Desktop, run: "defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true".
Switching focus to different spaces with windows works 100% of the time for me. Switching focus to a space without windows works roughly 10% of the time at first, and then after spamming back and fourth commands it works more reliably like 20%.
No idea what's going on threre. The current behavior is yabai switches focus back to the space that HAD a window (which is usually the one it just came from) or focuses on the nearest space WITH a window (which happens when it just came from a space without a window in it).
Expected behavior: Switching focus to a different space should stay on that space after focus.
System Details: yabai-v7.1.1 macOS-v14.4.1 (aarch64) skhd-v0.3.9 (if it matters in this) SIP Disabled.
