    Moving file between spaces by swiping issue

    Hello forum members, Encountering an unusual problem when attempting to move a file between spaces on my M2 MacBook Air running Sonoma. Specifically, the issue arises during a 3-finger swipe (and holding a file by light pressing the trackpad) – to the left, the transition usually works, but...

    Losing the thread in iPadOS multitasking

    Hey everyone, I often find myself losing track of what I'd been thinking about or working on in any given project because iPadOS does not have the ability to lock (a combination of) windows in place in either the App Switcher or Stage Manager, in a way you might with Spaces in Mission Control on...

    UI design quirks

    When I swipe left or right on my iPhone through pages of apps, the menu icons at the top stay where they are. On Mac OS when I swipe through desktops the whole menubar and clock swipes too. I know the actual menu changes but I think a fade for that would be better and to keep the Apple logo...

    Multiple Space "Sets" on One Ultrawide Monitor

    Hi All, First time posting so apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere. So I've got a MBP 15" Late 2013 at home & MBP 16" Early 2022(ish) at work. At work I've got 2x 24" external monitors and I make a lot of use of the spaces function of mission control to organise my work flow...

    scrambled spaces

    I use multiple desktop "spaces" for various tasks. Mostly Firefox browser windows. Sometimes I use the MBP standalone, and sometimes I plug it into an external monitor (in extend mode) Whenever I plug or unplugs, my applications windows get all shuffled up. Is there any way to "lock" them to a...

    Anyone else get high Chrome CPU when switching spaces?

    I currently have 6 spaces open, and 21 Chrome windows open with several tabs in each. I noticed that there was lag when switching between spaces, so I started rapidly switching between spaces using the keyboard shortcuts (ctrl + left/right arrows), and noticed that iStat menus was showing a...

    Text replacement outside home folder

    When editing text files in Monterey outside of your home folder (or /usr/local), all TAB occurrences are magically replaced with two-spaces. For example, anything inside /Library/WebServer or the /opt directory. However files saved in a home folder or /usr/local edit correctly. This is driving...

    What is the point of Stage Manager when we have Spaces?

    I might be missing something here; I just don't understand what the benefit of Stage Manager is when Spaces offers similar benefits. Stage Manager puts app windows into 'clusters' that can be switched on the fly using a menu on the left (which, I should point out, hurts to look at). But Spaces...

    HELP: Dock crashed, it's gone (Spaces too!)

    EDIT: I apparently put a malformed image as a background image. Fix was relocating the ~/Library/Application Support/Dock folder to the desktop and logging out/in (or restarting). It reset the Dock and its contents but fixed the problem. ### On the Mac App Store I bought 'uDesktop NEXT' which...

    Two windows of the same app side-by-side

    One multitasking feature that I've been waiting for in iOS is the ability to have multiple windows/instances of the same app open. Is there any indication that this will be possible in iOS 11, with new APIs for developers? I'm specifically interested in having two instances of the same app...

    Moving an application to a second screen is not fully working

    I have done quite a lot of googling, and found nothing, so I'm hoping some of the experts on here can help.... I have a Macbook Pro - a new 15" touchbar retina &c &c model. When I work from home, I plug a monitor in, so I have two displays - my Macbook screen, and my HDMI monitor. I have...

    Question about Hot Corners

    For several version of OSX, I've been frustrated by a particular quirk in the UI. Why does activating the 'Application Windows' hot corner also cause me to switch between spaces in the direction of the hot corner in question? I used to use this hot corner function to drag items between finder...

    Disable fullscreen swooshing

    Hi For a long time I have been annoyed over OSX's feature that automaticly changes my workspace when a process is working on something in one of the other workspaces. I usually always have Safari in fullscreen mode. So let's say I'm working in Safari, and while in Safari (in fullscreen), I...
