Something like; > Ctrl/Apple-key/Alt and keyboard arrows > Apple calls Workspaces spaces. To find out how to go from one space to another via tha keyboard just look at the Help Center, which shows: Do any of these: - Swipe left or right with three fingers to scroll through your spaces. - Enter Mission Control, and then click the space you want to use. - Press the Control key and the number key for the space you want. For example, press Control-3 to go to Desktop 3. - Press the Control key and an arrow key to scroll through the spaces. That seems to be about as easy as in Linux. > > I > hadn't previously realised Apple even had the workspaces idea > built-in.
