MISSION CONTROL FOR MAC FULL
But I have a full screen just dedicated to Safari. I can still get to the dock by moving down to the bottom. I can still get to the menu bar by moving my cursor to the top and waiting a second.
MISSION CONTROL FOR MAC PLUS
I'm going to hit this green plus button right here and now you can see it's full screen. Now I could put Safari on it's own desktop, desktop number 3.īut an easier way to do it will be to make it full screen which gives it its own desktop in one step. Now it's getting crowded on desktop one again. So I'm going to launch Safari here and it's going to cover these windows. Sometimes you're doing it just to check up on things. Maybe you're doing it sometimes for the work you're doing. Of course you're going to have to browse the web. I get my work done over here and when I get a Notification that I have a new email or a new message or want to add something to Reminders I can use Control left arrow and I'm at this desktop. So I can go back and forth between these very easily. If I want to get back to desktop one, Control and left arrow. But if I want to get to to my work all I need to do is use Control and right arrow and it slides over to desktop number two where I've got Pages and Numbers. So I'll go to desktop one and it looks like as it did before. I can click either of these here at the top to go to them. Now I've got desktop one and desktop two. I'm simply going to drag Pages and drag Numbers to desktop number two. I'm going to hit the plus button here at the top right and it creates desktop number two. Now I want to put these two apps, my work apps, on a separate desktop. That will take me to Mission Control and I can see I have one desktop here at the top but all my apps are shown here with these little blue boxes around them as I move my mouse there. So I'm going to use the Control key, not the Command key but the Control key and up arrow. You're going to use Mission Control for that. So a better way to do this would be to put Pages and Numbers, where you're getting your work done, on a separate desktop. Now you have to go Pages and Numbers again to get back to work. If you want to get back to all that other stuff you would use say Command H to hide numbers, Command H to hide Pages to get back to this. To get work done you've got a document open in Pages which you can bring up and a document in Numbers.

You may have a similar arrangement on your desktop. So here I've got a typical setup where I can see Mail, I can see Messages, and another app, say Reminders, all at the same time on my desktop. So let's take a look at a very simple example that can get you started. There are a lot of shortcuts and commands and things like that. There are lots of different ways to arrange it.
