So I made a KBM menu system front end to CK that took care of that. I could not remember whether my KBM desktop was 15, 16, or 17, etc., especially not when I rearranged the desktops to keep the ones I am currently working on together, which is a hugely useful feature of Desktops that I didn't want to give up.īased on my own experience, I believe the limitation of numbers is one of the prime reasons that Desktop Workspaces hasn't been more popular.įor me, I have over 20 Desktops, so it was pretty impossible to find hotkeys in any consistent pattern with letter mnemnonics for the content of each desktop, which didn't also accidentally typo into inadvertent things like closing all windows of the current app without saving. Numbers, like in Apple's Mission Control or Jim's system here, don't do that, which is why I will avoid numbers for anything. And, like Stickies, when you rearrange the order of the Desktops, the names move too, so the names stay with the content. CK does the job wonderfully (except that I would like names longer than 16 characters, but that's a quibble).ĬurrentKey even lets you assign hotkeys to each desktop.

Then I found the free app CurrentKey (also called CurrentKey Stats because the author focussed a lot of features on collecting and displaying statistics on how much time you spent in each app on each Desktop).
#BETTERTOUCHTOOL MOVE SPACE HOW TO#
I was working on KBM macros to attempt to reposition each Sticky onto the right Desktop (I was stuck on how to identify each Desktop where there wasn't already a sticky there - I could do it manually but it took a while).
I, too, used to use Stickies, they just seemed conceptually like the right thing, but Apple's Stickies really don't do the job - if you have to reboot the Stickies will all open back up on the first Desktop, which is not what you want. I am using a clunky floating sticky with the name of the space in each space and a KM macro to switch to that named sticky from the dock.Īre there any plans to tie a name to each space? My main flaw with spaces - that of names for each space.
