Is there a hotkey to go between full-screen apps?

I have multiple full-screen apps.  Is there a way to switch between them via the keyboard?  In the old day, I could assign Spaces desktop to a hotkey, and jump to it.  That's preserved for multiple desktops in Lion OS X, but it doesn't seem to work on full-screen apps.
The two finger magic mouse scroll thing is a little awkward for me.

On the trackpad it is a four finger swipe <-->
Maybe in your system preferences for your magic mouse.

  • My trackpad will swipe left between full-screen apps, but it will not swipe right

    My Trackpad on my imac will swipe left between full-screen apps, but it will not swipe right. How do I fix this?

    Hi there!
    I am searching this forum to find somebody that has noticed this weird behaviour. The closest I came so far is your post.
    So let me explain a little easier... The problem I think you mean is:
    When switching bewtween applications using CMD+TAB it does switch to the space an app is open BUT the app switched to is behind all the other windows on that space. Is that correct?
    This problem is also bugging me alot because I am used to to switch fastly between apps and this just renders the whole process useless. The best workaround I found so far is to stop using spaces (or Mission Control) and keep all the apps in one space to prevent this from happening.
    I really hope Apple aknowledges this bug very soon because this LION deal is a complete mess. Tons of bugs. No fixes.

  • Mac, second monitor changes to canvas background when I switch between full screen apps on my mac display?

    When I plug in my monitor using a thunderbolt to hdmi cable I would like to use my moitor as a second display, which i can do, but then when i switch between full screen apps on my mac it changes what i have on my monitor to a canvas background. Is there a way to fix the display on my monitor so that it will always be accesable?

    Apple:
    This is how it "Should" work.
    Each display should be treated as it own desktop.  If you swipe on a desktop it should swipe through the hidden screens/displays.   If your a user with multi displays connected to your Mac, you could have "Full Screen" Apps, Dashboard, Mission Control, and etc available to swipe on each of your connected displays.
    Display 1...swipe, swipe... mouse over to Display 2...   swipe swipe swipe...  oh.. Display 3, swipe!  All set for work or play!
    This would be a well received "Feature" for the Worlds Most Advanced Operating System.
    Cheers
    I have seen apps (like MPlayerX and VLC) have their own "built in" workaround for the full-screen problems on multi-displays.

    It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers,  however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
    I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
    How can I correct this please?

    Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

  • HT5019 When I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows

    , can it just change the full screen app of the screen with the cursor?
    when I swipe between full screen app, the other screen follows to a full screen app window with no applications (like a grey linen screen)
    and I can't use that one properly yet I still want to use the full screen app without disturbing the other screen. (the left screen is grey)

    Upgrade to 10.9, Done.

  • Swipe between full screen apps in Powerpoint - skipping screens

    Anytime I have multiple PowerPoint presentations in full screen mode, when I swipe from other apps to one of the presentations, it automatically skips a screen. For example, I have two presentations open, each in full screen mode side by side.  When I swipe from my browser (in full screen mode) to the presentation, it skips the first presentation and slides to the next.  And it doesn't matter which direction I swipe from.  The first presentation is always skipped and I have to swipe back to get to it.
    Is there a fix for this? Is it a simple setting?  small problem, but annoying.
    Thanks

  • Magic Trackpad is not letting me swipe between full screen apps.

    I am pretty sure it was doing it before but now it has stopped. I can do everything else but I'm just not able to swipe between apps.
    Thanks

    The little scroll ball is probably dirty because it is a random problem. Turn it upside down on a clean fabric surface, or your mouse pad, and rub it all around till the dirt is cleaned out. My scroll quit working in one direction and I searched and searched the community here till I found this relatively easy answer to my problem.
    I used my denim jeans and every thing is working a ok now.
    Hope this helps ...

  • Magic Mouse does not swipe between full screens.

    Even tho prefrences is checked that one finger swipes between pages and two finger swipe between full screen apps, I am unable to do so.  It only goes between say mail, dashboard and one chrome or say I photo.  What could I be doing wrong?

    I went to Mission Control and set up more desktops, Thanks Captfred.  I'm getting the hang of it, but occ. it gets stuck, ie:  I-Cal goes from page to page.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again Captfred.

  • Full screen app switch speed

    It seems that after upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I use four fingers to switch between full screen apps, the speed became so much slower (or maybe with more precision?) and this really bugs me as I often switch back and forth a lot, and it also seems no one has brought this issue to Apple's attention yet. I believe there MUST be something that I can do to change this. Hopefully.

    Thanks for the heads up. I would have never thought of Google Drive causing the issue.
    I looked into the Google Drive issue and found a temporary fix that allows me to still use Google Drive on my desktop.
    MrPiv, on a post from yesterday, concluded that if you disable the Show file sync status icons and right click menu it'll solve the problem and you can still keep Google Drive open.
    I did so, and it worked beautifully. Thanks, actionmarker, for leading me to search issues with Google Drive, and MrPiv, for the fix via preference options.

  • Why does my dock get stuck when using full screen apps?

    When using a full screen app like Safari, if I go back to my desktop and to the dock (which i keep minimized) it stays there when going back to the full screen app. I have to go back to the first page and hover over the dock to get it to go back. Not sure whats going on...

    I may not have explained exactly...so basically when i go to the main desktop screen, and open a program or use the dock, it sometimes gets stuck in show mode. Then when i go back to the safari full screen app for instance, the dock stays up, with the latest program highlighted. In order to get the dock to go away, i need to go back to the desktop and hover over the dock again for it to hide.
    I really hope someone else is experiencing this because its very annoying and I want apple to fix it quickly

  • Is there a way to set up multiple displays to show different DeskTops and/or multiple Full-Screen apps independently?

    Hello Apple users/ develpers.....
    I have been thinking about this long and hard and it seems like there should be some way to display separate Full-Screen Apps and/or mulitple Desktops.
    This would be a key feature that would make Lion surprisingly more efficient than any of its predicessors.  However, I have gone into System Preferences>Displays and could find no way to page through and get different desktops to display.  I always could extend the desktop, but why do that when I can simply use multiple Desktops and assign them to specific displays.
    (For example While on the MacBook Pro I could be doing a project in FinalCut while External Display 1 could be displaying iTunes and Display number 2 could be displaying MS Word.  And between each I can switch between each app without changing the monitor display.)
    I could also seeing this being extremely helpful in DJ and/or PowerPoint presentations.  In a PowerPoint presentation I could use the projector/display to show the individual Slides, while on the computer/laptop I could control other materials.
    Or in a DJ situation, I could be controlling iTunes from the computer, displaying a set of animations that I created in Flash/ToonBoom or another animation program, while still being able to work off of an independent display to do my homework or major project.
    The whole purpose of multiple displays would be to have multiple access to each of those.  And so if there's another APP I need to control them, or if there is a setup command I don't know about, I'd like to know right away.
    Also, if Apple hasn't really implimented this (and their OS is designed to have these features) then I guess this'd be my first recomendation to them as something that they need to fix.  This alone could be the key to crippling PC.  Don't let Windows 8 have a back door!

    Not available, why not suggest it here.

  • Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard?

    Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard without auto-hiding the dock? I've already tried searching the forums but could not find much on it or an answer to if it can be done or not. Thanks for any help.

    You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
    Window > Code Inspector or F10

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to jump directly to a particular full screen app in Lion?

    When you full screen an application in Lion, it "flies out" of the desktop space it started in, and winds up at the end of the spaces list (assuming you have turned off auto-arranging).
    As a result if the app being pulled out of the spaces flow, there is no way to ctrl+1/2/3etc to jump to the space it is currently occupying.
    Does anyone know how you can make a keyboard shortcut so you can jump directly to full screened apps?
    i want to leave the app running in full screen and be able to switch to it using ctrl+1/2/3/4/5 etc

    Kurt, Yes Yes Yes, This works in CC also. On my MacBook Pro notebook with wireless small keyboard without page up page down keys, I use the fn (function) key, hold down shift and press the up and down arrows to cycle through the artboards. Wow, thank you so much for this as it is exactly what I wanted to do. But I must mention that Monika answered the second part of the question correctly also with the ability to 'jump' to a selected arboard by name. So, there is no way to award two with the correct answer, but you both deserve. I gave to you Kurt because you answered the first part of the question but you both deserve equally. CarlosCanto also chimed in with an edit I see now that mentions controls in the arboard panel that I have not explored yet. I thank each of you and you each deserve a huge amount of credit for coming up with the insights to navigation that are not readily available without doing some serious homework and having a good amount of experience also with Illustrator. My Sincere thanks to everyone who answered and commented on this topic.

  • Reading the older questions, is there a way in which the full screen slide shows can be saved and/or exported?

    Reading the older questions, is there a way in which a full screen slide show (such as places or geotagged photo's) can be saved and/or exported for viewing by another party?

    Yes. Just export the slideshow and select your preferred output size.

  • Is there a solution yet to no full screen music videos in os7?

    Is there a solution yet to no full screen music videos in os7?

    I've been told by Verizon business team that Sumsung and Verizon are working on a fix. Of course, that could be one month or 12 months.
    My wife and I have a Samsung S3 and Note II and both, on Jelly Bean have the same flaw. It's very frustrating. I carry with me an unlocked HTC and also Verizon Incredible 2. Since SIM Data plans are cheap enough in most countries, I just get additional SIM cards with a data plan and turn on the hotspot feature of these devices with I access from the S3 and NOTE II. Not ideal, but close enough for now.
    In the UK, I am hoping the LTE capabilities will work (VodaFone UK is imminent).
