Mission control: display only windows from a space?

I have a lot of terminal and browser windows open at any one time, all spread across multiple space. When I use Control-F3 Mission control displays all the windows for that application regardless of which space they are from. Is there a way to do something similar but only display the windows of the application that are in the current space?
Thanks!

You can open Mission Control, which will show your main space at first, and 4-finger swipe right (on Macbook Pro, I don't know the keys without a trackpad) to switch to the next. You will only see the active windows in the other space then.

App Switcher showing only apps from this space?

Hi everyone
I use cmd-tab exclusively (because I have a windows and linux computer at home) and I integrate space into my workflow.
I am quite annoyed by Cmd-Tab (Application Switcher) because it displays all app windows from all spaces.
Is there a way to get App Switcher to display only apps from current space?

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, register as an Apple Developer—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. You'll get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

Customize mission control to show only windows from current desktop Space

Finder in Mission Control is a mess, a mega super huge mess, when you are a multitask user, and have 2, 3... differents desktops doing different task, usually there are at least one common app, Finder, with multiple windows (thanx God, thanx! for bring Finder tabs in Mavericks, You rocks...), and when you brow just "app windows" Mission control shows you the hundred and so windows you has been opened arround all the desktops!!!
SO, whats the point here??? why in **** anyone would to want all the Finder windows opened in the "photography deticated desktop" messed with the windows at the "videogames desktop" and the "receipts/budget" desktop?
please, anyone, tell me that I'm a complete fool and this can be easly fixed with a few clics...

How to? switch between the following mission control preference "group windows by application" on the fly? OR have both readily available

Is there any way to switch between the following mission control preference "group windows by application" on the fly? I would like to turn this feature on and off quickly. OR have both readily available?
If osx 10.9 does not support this, does any one know if automater can be used to creat a short cut to turn this preferance on and off?
Current solution (not much of a solution)
I currently added the preferance control icon for mission control on my dock.

Do you mean the general System Preferences icon? ...If so, it's possible to put the icon specifically for the Mission Control pane in the Dock:
I'm on Mountain Lion and that Preference Pane is in: Macintosh HD > System (not Users) > Library > PreferencePanes > Expose.prefPane
...Drag that Expose.prefPane to the right-hand side of the Dock, say, next to the Trash. Then you can simply click on the resulting Expose Prefs icon in the Dock to open its Prefs panel.

Mission Control in Yosemite Creates Tons of Spaces/Desktops

Every now and then, I'll open mission control, and I'll see dozens of spaces/desktops open. I did not open them myself, so Yosemite must be creating them automatically somehow. Here's a screenshot I just took while closing them:
I am hovering over desktop number 25, so there are around 40-50 desktops shown (and I had already deleted many of them before taking this screenshot).
Has anybody run into this before and know how to prevent it? Seems like a bug. Here are some notes:
OS X Yosemite (clean install on a new partition... I sill have Mavericks on an old partition).
Seems to only happen on my main screen (I have a second, external monitor).
Here is some system/display information:

Yeah, it does seem pretty rare. None of my coworkers have mentioned it, and most of them recently upgraded to Yosemite. Though, at least one other person has seen this issue too. Spaces and expose on Yosemite:
Though, there are some differences that could explain why none of my coworkers have seen this before. They are using iMacs (I have a MacBook Pro), they have Thunderbolt displays (I have a retina display), and they all upgraded from Mavericks (I did a clean install).
By the way, the user in the screenshot above mentioned that spaces are created each time they boot up. I'll open Mission Control next time I restart to see if that's when it happens for me (I've been on my computer for a couple hours now and still no extra spaces).
Also, I have VMware installed and use it frequently. It does some funky things with windows/screens and I run it in full screen all the time, so maybe that could be related.

Mission control inactive after waking from sleep

Having an intermittant issue where the mission control functions are no longer working after waking from sleep. I can't swipe between desktops, or activate mission control by clicking on the dock icon. The only way to get it back is to use the Activity Monitor to force quick the dock and have it re-launch. Then everything is fine. Doesn't happen all the time on sleep.

Did it happen each time?
As I know, if you press at touch panel while system booting.
It maybe influence touchpanel initial. ->It will cause touchpanel no function when you enter system.

U460 Brightness Control Issues (Only goes from Brightest to Darkest)

My Ideapad U460 is having problems with the brightness level. It will only switch from the Brightest to Darkest brightness level...meaning it's either too bright or too dim. I've tried switching my power options too but everytime i try to adjust the brightness either by just clicking the "Fn" button to adjust the brightness or changing it on the Control Panel's Brightnes Options by moving the cursor down the brighness scale (it STILL only goes from the lowest to highest in brightness).
Please help! This is quite frustrating since it goes from being WAY TOO BRIGHT to WAY TOO DARK. Also, I recently had my screen changed because it was malfunctioning. Everything is fine in terms of my memory and just the laptop itself but the brightness issues are becoming unbearable. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP

Thanks for the help! Sorry, I've been out of town so I haven't been able to respond. However, I have some questions.

Displays - gather windows from 2nd monitor? OR - turn off detected display?

I use my Sony HDTV (960XBR) via HDMI as a 2nd monitor sometimes (also use a 17" LCD sometimes). When not using the Sony for the Mac (like actually watching TV!), the Mac still detects it as a display and allows any program windows I'd placed there to remain on that display, even though it's not actually displaying the Mac signal.
Question: is there any way to "gather" all program windows onto the primary display? Or "turn off" a detected display from the Mac?
Thanks!

Most applications support the following: under the Window menu, you'll see a "Bring All to Front" command. If you hold down the Option key, that changes to "Arrange in Front". Choose that to have all windows arranged in front. That should probably force all windows to the main screen.
Hope this helps.....

How do you keep display only fields from being inserted into tables?

Morning I have a problem where I am displaying a couple fields on a screen and they are tring to insert in to a table.
I am running Apex 4.1 on 11Gr2, i am building a set of screens, on the first one the user inputs a subject ID, that branchs to a second screen that uses the subject id to do a lookup for a couple fields for display. there are a couple field the user feels in and a row is inserted in to a differnet table. But Apex is tring to insert the lookup fields in to the second table when I really only need the subject ID.
How can I tell Apex which fields to use in the insert and which not to try to uses. I see in the debug it is getting all the screen fields in the inserty statement.
Thanks

In the insert process, take the cols out which you don't want to insert, say,
insert into tbl (col1, col2, ....) value (p1, p2, ...)
=>
insert into tbl (col1, col5, ....) values (p1, p5, ...)

Notification center and control center only work from lock screen on my iPhone 6

When I try to swipe down to get notification center or up to get control center from any screen but my lock screen, I can't. Is there a setting or something that I need to change?

That is correct. Are you starting from off the screen area itself? You cannot start from on the screen. You need to be just off of the screen to begin. See if that helps. If not, then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Check operation after that.

Can't see multiple spaces from mission control

I have six spaces open, but when I enter mission control, I don't see the 6 windows up top; they are invisible. If I click in the general location I'll get to the space, but I can't see any images of the six spaces which are peppered with apps. Its blank up top. Need a fix. Thanks

Exact same problem. Had this on my Macbook Pro and then my iMac. On the iMac I only get the 'correct' Mission Control display on a screen that is not 'desktop 1'.
But the Macbook Pro refuses to show it all. I get the same response as the poster above - invisible thumbnails that work when clicked.
Any help would be great.

Mission Control Only Showing App Icons, NOT Windows

I just purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina and am noticing a bug with Mission Control. When I go to Mission Control to see all of the different windows I have open, it's showing just the app icons, NOT the actual app windows. This occurs sporadically; sometimes it works properly, and sometimes it doesn't. I actually realzied the same issue on my MacBook Pro (2009) after upgrading to Mountain Lion a few weeks ago, therefore it seems to be an OS issue and not a HW issue.
Here is a screen shot of what I see when Mission Control is not working properly:
Instead of those icons, it should be showing the actually windows within those apps that I have open.
Any ideas?

I have this problem too and would love a solution...when it happens to me it only seems to be on one of my spaces, if I use gestures to get to another space Mission Control" works fine on a different space, but if I go back to the original space it stops working..I have found a fix, which is just move the active window slightly, yep, that actually works, and then Mission Control starts working again...it's weird...would still love to know what causes it, even though the fix is an easy one...
Just on the safari comments above, I have noticed this happens when one of the tab has "reader" activated...turning of 'reader' seems to fix the issue with safari...

How do I disable Mission Control in favor of old Spaces and Exposé?

Spaces was my favorite feature from previous versions and now they upgraded (killed) it. I loved having a Space for each kind of activity, like browsing or email or system-related tasks, and so on. Now it’s all confusing and I still don’t know how to assign apps to a space. I don’t like either that you have to go over all of them to get to a specific one and there’s no easy way of recalling where -recently unassigned opened- your app was, you have to go thru Mission Control. It’s irritating.
I know you can go directly to a Space by using ^+the number or the space, but I liked way more the grid in which they were set up before.
The window management system OS X is one of the major things I choose this OS over all the other but now it's getting screwed up. It seems like an OS for iOS to Mac OS switchers. Is there some file or setting I have to edit like in Terminal? An app to buy? Anything.
I really appreciate your help.
UPDATE: I just learned how to assign applications to a space, from the application's dock menu, yet the fact that spaces are not fixed and you can easily close them by just clicking the X that on it, keeps me a little too uneasy.

Some people hate it, some like it.

At least now we can have up to 16 spaces.
Work in multiple spaces
When projects pile up and your desktop becomes cluttered, you can use Spaces to organize your windows into groups. For example, create a space for work, another for games, and a third for chatting and checking email messages.
Add one or more spaces
Enter Mission Control using one of these methods:
From a trackpad, swipe up using three or four fingers.
From the keyboard, press the Mission Control key. If your keyboard doesn’t have a Mission Control key, press F9 (Fn-F9 on portable keyboards).
Move the pointer toward the upper-right corner of your screen.
To add a space, click the Add button (+). You can add up to 16 spaces.
To leave Mission Control, swipe again, or press the key you used to enter Mission Control.
HideMove from one space to another
Do any of these:
Swipe left or right with three fingers to scroll through your spaces.
Enter Mission Control, and then click the space you want to use.
Press the Control key and the number key for the space you want. For example, press Control-3 to go to Desktop 3.
Press the Control key and an arrow key to scroll through the spaces.
HideMove a window from one space to another
Do any of these:
Drag the window to the edge of your screen and pause; after a moment, the window is switched to the next space.
Move the pointer over the window, and hold down the mouse button while pressing the Control key and an arrow or number key.
From the space that has the window you want to move, enter Mission Control. Then drag the window itself (not the thumbnail image) up to the space you want to use.
HideDecide which spaces to use with particular applications
If you work in multiple spaces, you can assign applications to particular spaces.
Press and hold an application’s icon in the Dock. You may have to first open the application from Launchpad to see its icon in the Dock.
From the shortcut menu that appears over the icon, choose one of these:
To have the application open only in the current space, choose Options > This Desktop. From now on the application will open in the current space; if you are working in a different space, the application’s space scrolls into view.
To have the application open in every space, choose Options > All Desktops. From now on, when the application is open it will appear in every space.
To have the application open in the whichever space you are currently using, choose Options > None.
In Mission Control preferences, you can specify that when switching to an application, your desktop should scroll to a space with open windows for that application.
Delete a space
Enter Mission Control using one of these methods:
From a trackpad, swipe up using three or four fingers.
From the keyboard, press the Mission Control key. If your keyboard doesn’t have a Mission Control key, press F9 (Fn-F9 on portable keyboards).
Move the pointer over the the space you want to delete. After a moment a delete button (x) appears on the space.
Click the delete button (x) to remove the space. If the space contains windows, the windows are moved to another space.

Desktop 1 Mission Control Application Windows

I recently upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. The upgrade went perfect on my MacBook Pro. Here are my system specs:
15-inch, 2.53GHz, Mid 2009
Processor 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
I noticed a strange behavior with Desktop 1 when I go to Mission Control. No matter if I open Mission Control *from* Desktop 1, or I move to Desktop 1 from another Desktop in Mission Control, the Application Windows that are open on Desktop 1 do not display.
Notice that the App Icons are displayed, but no Windows.
NO OTHER DESKTOP displays this behavior. Any ideas? Is there a cache I can delete to reset the Desktop/Mission Control?
Thanks!

Note that this issue occured right after an OSX update, but was fixed after a reboot.
