![]() ![]() ![]() I can bring up Mission Control now and I can see I actually have Desktop 1 and Desktop 2 like before but I have a desktop that is not a desktop it is just called Safari because there is no desktop it is a full screen Safari. What it also does is it creates a special Mission Control space. You can tell when an app can go full screen because of this button in the upper right hand corner of its window. So let's go over here and we've got Safari and we have the full screen button here. Now Mission Control works really well with full screen apps. So there is a lot you can do just using Mission Control for that. If I get rid of this one of course it is going to dump that screen back here so all four apps are now running on this desktop because it has to do something with them. If I want to get rid of these I can simply hit the X there and go back to this one. It is very easy to move windows and apps between these different desktops and, of course, add even more here if I want. I can move over to this desktop and I can bring Safari over here. So if I want to bring TextEdit into this desktop I can do it. You can also switch between these inside of Mission Control. If you forget where something is because you have many different desktops open, you can click on Mission Control to bring it up and you can see where things are. If you just want to glance at what is going on over here you can just use Control and the right arrow. You can see how when you are working on a laptop it makes you feel like you have more than one screen. I can add a third, fourth, and fifth screen. I can also use the Control key, not the Command key but Control, and the left and right arrows to flip between these two screens. So I can use my keyboard shortcut and jump to it. I can switch between these screens using Mission Control. ![]() If I go over to Desktop 1 I have my other apps, TextEdit, and I've got Reminders, and I've got Contacts open. Just click on it and now I go to this Desktop. Guess what you can do? You can drag and drop onto Desktop 2 and now you can switch between them. You have to roll your mouse over there to see it. But also you can use it to create more Desktops. You click on it and Contacts is at the front. So the first thing I want to do with Mission Control is just use this to figure out which app you want to look at. You can imagine that makes sense because I have one screen on my Mac so that's all I've got.īut I can actually add more. I've got just one desktop here, one screen. You can see it breaks apart everything into little groups and you see the windows inside those groups and the icon for the app that is running. Let me click on Mission Control here but most of the time you are going to want to use the keyboard shortcut. You can kind of use Mission Control to pretend that you've got more than one screen or at least be able to find apps on your small screen. I just don't have enough space here to see them all and work with them. I've got a lot of different windows open and a lot of different apps. So this is a type of situation Mission Control can help out with. Let me show you how to use Mission Control on your Mac.
