Switching to another desktop using Ctrl+number

Hi All,
I just updated to Yosemite. All seems to work fine but it seems I have lost one of my loving features for switching desktops. I normally have 9 desktops, and I have certain apps assigned to each desktop. To switch between desktops I always use Ctrl+number. But after upgrading this seems that it not longer works.
Ctrl+ arrow left or arrow right does work. As it does Ctrl. +1. This is the only number that works, then I try Ctrl.+2, +3 and nothing happens.
Any clue what is going on.
Thanks.

The sooner I post the question the sooner I find the answer
In a nutshell, OSX considers the numbers located in the keyboard above the letters as different keys than the numbers located in the numbers block located in the right side of the keyboard. So when I clicked the ones on the right (which are the ones I usually utilise) the desktop would not move.
Ctrl+1 was working because I did reset it in the Keyboard -> Shortcuts section. Obviously, you don't realise that you are actually resetting the value, as the same value appears.
I reset all to be operational when using the numbers block and now it is OK.

    You can either click on Mission Control in your dock/Applications folder & select a space or your can use 'CTRL+ left or right arrow to navigate through spaces'

  • When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+ tab number does not work, is that intended functionality?

    When I am on a Youtube video that is running and I want to switch to another tab, the Ctrl+<tab number> does not work, is that intended functionality?

    This can happen when the video player (Flash plugin) has the focus.
    In that case the plugin consumes all the key presses.
    You will have to click with the mouse elsewhere on the page or in the user interface to make keyboard shortcuts work.

  • Can no longer switch desktops using control-number on the number pad.

    Now that I upgraded to Mavericks, I can no longer switch desktops in Mission Control using control-number on the number pad. Only the numbers on the top row work.
    It's rather annoying, as it's much easier and quicker for me to swap desktops with my right hand (thumb on control, finger on numeric keypad) than left handwith the top row.
    Anyone else having this problem?
    Remember, Apple, a lot of folks still have full keyboards!

    changing the keyboard shortcuts does the trick!
    (Apparently Mavericks thinks the number pad numbers are different than the top row numbers. If you redo the shortcuts to use the number pad, the top row numbers no longer work with Mission Control)

  • 3.42 - using CTRL+number in MS Word

    Hi,
    I use MS Word via TTA3.42. Using either the Sun or MS JVMs I can't get
    CTRL+1, CTRL+2 to work. Other CTRL sequences such as CTRL+N, CTRL+P,
    CTRL+SHIFT+END work OK, but none of the CTRL+number sequences.
    For info, in Word, CTRL+2 should change a paragraph or line to
    double-spaced (vertical).
    Any ideas?

  • I lost my iphone, gps is off and its now switched off, can i use serial number to find it?

    i lost my iphone tonite i tried to check it with icloud but it showed offline, i rang many times but the phone now is switched off, is there any possible to use serial number to locate my iphone?

    For Find My iPhone to work, several things need to happen: the iPhone needs to be connected to the internet, the iPhone needs to not have been wiped. I believe it will turn on Location Services if it receives a Find My iPhone request, but I am not sure.
    While the phone is off (or your software and settings are wiped), it can do nothing to help you find it.

  • Spaces keeps auto-switching to another "desktop" when I open a certain app

    I once opened an app (iTunes) in a 2nd "Space" ie virtual desktop and now every time I open iTunes, it switches me over to this other desktop even though in Dock I specified "Only Open in THIS Desktop".
    Not interested in multiple "desktops", just want to do everything on one.
    Anyone else have this frustrating experience?

    The text editor is the text area that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to create a new mail.
    You can compare that with the ''Post new message'' text area that you use to create a new post on this forum.
    Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons that allows some text formatting like Bold and Italic and can also include a button to make a clickable hyperlink.
    Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

  • When I unzip an archive it switches to another desktop. Why?

    Every time I open a .zip file as soon as it completes I am switched to desktop 6 (out of 6 desktops).
    I checked if the archive utility was assigned to a desktop and no it is not.
    I even installed the preference panes for the archive utility and nothing there about this.
    It's not very important but it's the kind of thing that just gets on my nerves xD
    Thanks in advance.

    Well -
    Just in case anybody would relate I find out an important clarification.
    It's not related to the ZIP application at all -
    What happens is that I auto-switch desktop on APPLICATION CLOSE.
    I get the same behavior if for instance I open Xcode on desktop 5
    And when I Command-Q Xcode I will get switched to desktop 6 -
    Probably because Mac decided to focus on an application that is opened there.
    In my case there is MAMP opened on desktop 6
    And it looks like this is the application Mac focuses on when an application closes.
    At first I thought this fixed it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4995042?tstart=0
    But with this I won't get focus on ANY application when I click them in the dock.
    Adding this information here in case it is relevant to anybody else.

  • If I open a PDF doc in a new tab and then try and close the tab with ctrl-w it will try and close all tabs unless I switch to another tab and back again.

    Running Firefox beta and Adobe Acrobat 10. If I open a PDF document in a new tab, say http://support.avaya.com/css/P8/documents/100146419, and then try and close the tab using ctrl-w, I get the message warning me about closing all tabs. If I switch to another tab and then back to the PDF document and then hit ctrl-w, it will just close that one tab and not all tabs.
    Cheers.

    I've just been playing around and I set dom.ipc.plugins.enabled to true and now it closes the PDF document but not the tab. I have to do ctrl-w again to close the tab. However, leaving that set to true ruins the scroll mouse functionality as Acroread seems to want it all to itself.

  • I created a playlist with 100 songs.  I want those 100 songs played using the shuffle option.  This no longer works in iTunes version 11.1.5.5  How can I get an entire  playlist to paly one song after another by using the switch option?

    You're welcome.
    Going back to your original post:
    5) Tried running Itunes in 'safe mode', running itunes as an administrator..nothing.
    Was that iTunes' safe mode as opposed to Windows' safe mode? iTunes safe mode is invoked by holding down CTRL+SHIFT immediately after clicking the icon to launch iTunes and continuing to hold until this message pops up:
    Click continue, then close iTunes and reopen. With luck iTunes now opens normally every time.

  • I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    I just downloaded Firefox 5 and it said that my Yahoo toolbar will not work with it. Is this true? If so I will not use this new version and will switch to another browser if Firefox stops supporting the Yahoo toolbar. Thank you.

    Add-ons contain a range of compatible Firefox versions, and Firefox honors the listed range by disabling the add-on if you are trying to run it on an unlisted version.
    I'm sure Yahoo! will update its toolbar eventually, but not every add-on maker supports beta versions of software.

  • My desktop display has been magnified and everything I open is similarly magnified.When I try to zoom out using Ctrl - or the mouse nothing happens

    My MacBok Pro suddenly magnified the desktop display significanlty. All programmes and applications are similarly magnified when open. I tried zooming out using Ctrl - and I also tried holding down the Option key and scrolling down using the mouse. Nothing happens to zoom out of the desktop and on Facebook for example the columns get smaller but the text doesn't so lines of text end up overlayed each other. What can I do to remedy the situation?

    Found the Option key. Googled it. And yes your instructions worked a treat. Thanks
