Keyboard shortcut to switch between full screen windows

My only major contention with Full Screen mode for applications in Mac OS X Mavericks (and now Yosemite) has been that there is no easy way to switch between multiple windows that are full-screened as you could do without (using the command+` keyboard shortcut). It's actually the sole reason I opted to not use them with Mavericks. I know, I'm supposed to use the multitouch trackpad capabilities, but I don't have access to one at work.
So my question, now that the default behavior of what was previously the maximize button is to full-screen a window (I am additionally aware that I can option-click on the full-screen/maximize button to maximize a window), is there an easy keyboard shortcut that I simply haven't located to switch between windows in a single application?
If not, can we please see this added in soon?

Assign a key to Expose and use it to switch between Parallels in full screen and your other apps.

    Open your Displays system preferences.  Is there an Arrangement tab and does it show two screens?  If no Arrangement tab then your mac does not know it has two screens.  Maybe smc and pram reset will shake it free and maybe not.  Maybe there's something wrong with the connection.  Thunderbolt plugs are similar to mini-displayport plugs so make sure the plug is pushed firmly in so that essentially all the metal part disappears inside the socket.  The plugs can be a little tricky in that you need to make sure the plug is fully seated in their socket.
    If you do see two screens in the Arrangement tab then click Detect Displays and Gather Windows to get the Displays preferences of the other monitor on to your main monitor.  Check the resolution and if there is a refresh rate check that as well.

  • 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.

  • Keyboard shortcut to switch between Song/Album/Artist

    Is there a keyboard shortcut for switching between Song/Album/Artist/Composer etc. view in the top right corner of iTunes? If there's not, then consider this a feature request!

    Not exactly, but down-arrow will swap the images, and 'z' will always zoom the "select" one, if the "Link Focus" padlock is unlocked. Is that close enough for your needs?

  • Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between open documents?

    Is there an easy way to switch between 2 or 3 open documents in Pages, as when trying to combine excerpts from several places into a new document?

    No, there isn't. you can't even set your own shor cut keys as you don't know what the documents will be named. Normally you can add short cuts keys but only for those menus options that already exist but your documents will change. I have searched for the answer earlier as I also want it.
    There is in the Pages Help menu an option for  Keyboard shorcuts but nothing is mentioned ther about changing document windows.

    Technically it is the Grave Accent ` (aka reverse quote) under the tilda ~ key.  Tilda ~ is shifted, and Grave Accent ` is not.

    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.

  • Shortcut to switch between states?

    Hey there gurus,
    Simple one for you.
    Fireworks CS4. Mac OS 10.5.2.
    Is there a shortcut to switch between states?
    Thanks in advance.
    Tom

    Hey Tom,
    Glad to see you found your way to the keyboard shortcuts area. Here are a couple notes that might keep your Fireworks experience happy:
    •Try to keep your Fireworks files small... Don't have too many pages when you are going to be using a lot of states; I know it is tempting to have the entire project in one file... separating the different sections by pages and the different states of the sections by the states, but it will be worth your while to keep these files smaller and have multiple files in place of multiple pages. This will do wonders for helping the app remain consistent.
    •If you do choose to use multiple smaller files in place of large ones, use 'Command + `' (1 key left of 1/! key). This will let you flip through open pages. If you want to go in reverse, add shift (Command+Shift+`).
    •Try using the terminal command 'purge' if/when things get slow, this coupled with the aforementioned smaller files has helped me avoid crashes.
    •Make some custom tool panel layouts and save them in Window > Workspace Layouts > Save Current. If you want to update a workspace layout, just type the name of the layout you wish to save over.
    Best wishes and good luck with the clients!

    You switch keyboards by going to the " flag" menu at the top right of the screen.

  • Keyboard-shortcut to toggle between the shutdown options?

    Is there a keyboard-shortcut to toggle between the shutdown options? On SnowLeopard control-option-command-eject does the trick to shutdown (Mac@work), but on Moutain Lion it switches me to the loginscreen.
    I found that the shortcut in ML is control-eject (with a popup), but haven't found how to switch between the button's on the popup.
    The popup suggests restart - go to sleep - cancel - shutdown.
    Spacebar does nothing.
    thx in advance,

    in reply to my own:
    Found it 'Full keyboard access' turned off in my systempreferences.
    Tab and shift-tap.
    Anyway thanks if you did read the discussion and was looking for an answer.
