HOM 27: Organizing Windows (Magnet Tiles & Workspaces)

Listen Later
  • Work in multiple spaces on Mac
  • If the desktop on your Mac gets cluttered with open app windows, you can use Mission Control to create additional desktops, called spaces, to organize the windows. When you work in a space, you see only the windows that are in that space.
  • If your Mac has a Touch Bar, you can set an option in Keyboard preferences to show spaces in the Touch Bar. Then just tap a space to open it.
  • If you assign an app (or System Preferences) to a specific space, the app will always open in that space.

    •  

    • Use apps in Split View on Mac
    • Many apps on your Mac support Split View mode, where you can work in two apps side by side at the same time.
    • To use apps in Split View on other displays, make sure the "Displays have separate Spaces" tick box is selected in Mission Control preferences.
