Keyboard Shortcuts
Master navigation with default keybindings.
Workspace Navigation
Switch between spaces (desktops) on the currently focused display.
| Action | Default Hotkey |
|---|---|
| Switch space left | Alt + A |
| Switch space right | Alt + D |
| Jump to space 1–9 | Alt + 1 through Alt + 9 |
| Jump to space 10 | Alt + 0 |
Move window with you
Hold Shift to carry the focused window to the target space:
| Action | Default Hotkey |
|---|---|
| Move window left | Alt + Shift + A |
| Move window right | Alt + Shift + D |
Wrap around
By default, navigating left from space 1 does nothing. Enable Wrap Around Workspaces in settings to loop from the first space to the last (and vice versa).
Display Navigation
Move focus between monitors. The cursor warps to the target display automatically.
| Action | Default Hotkey |
|---|---|
| Switch display left | Alt + Ctrl + A |
| Switch display right | Alt + Ctrl + D |
| Jump to display 1–9 | Alt + Ctrl + 1 through Alt + Ctrl + 9 |
| Jump to display 10 | Alt + Ctrl + 0 |
Enable Wrap Around Displays in settings to loop between the first and last display.
Window Management
Cycle keyboard focus between windows on the current space without using the Dock.
| Action | Default Hotkey |
|---|---|
| Focus next window | Alt + Tab |
| Focus previous window | Alt + Shift + Tab |
System
| Action | Default Hotkey |
|---|---|
| Toggle Mission Control | Alt + W |
| Toggle Expose | Alt + E |
These are toggles — pressing the hotkey again dismisses the view. You can also navigate spaces while Mission Control is open.
