Do you open a lot of windows on your Mac? Do you ever have trouble keeping track of them all? Then you need to know about Mission Control, which shows you all of your currently open windows, then gives you ways to organize them.Mission Control is one of those Mac features that’s easy to ignore but makes everything better once you learn about it, mostly because of the multiple desktops feature. Master using those, and the quick ways to switch between them, and you’ll wonder how you ever used your Mac any other way. From here you can assign an application to a given desktop, or even have it show up on all desktops. Full Screen ApplicationsBut waitthere’s more.
Do you know about the full screen button? It’s the green one near the top-left of every window.Click this button and the current application will enter full screen mode, meaning the dock and menu bar disappear and the current window takes up the entire screen.You might think that you can’t use any other programs while full screen mode is active, or that you can’t use two programs in full screen at once, but it turns out Mission Control makes this all possible.

Head to System Preferences, then the Mission Control section.From here you’ll find the main options for Mission ControlHere’s a quick breakdown of what these options do:.

When you use Command+Tab to switch applications, you probably also want to switch to an active window. The option “When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application” ensures that will happen even if the window is on another desktop. The option “Group windows by application,” when checked, ensures that multiple windows from the same application appear side-by-side in Mission Control. The option “Displays have separate Spaces” applies to Macs with multiple monitors. By default switching desktops on one display will also switch the other, but with this option checked each display will have it own set of desktops. Finally, you can turn on the, either as its own Space or as an overlay.Below these options you can set custom keyboard and mouse shortcuts for launching Mission Control.
