I’ll be following along with this thread, as I am also in a place where Spaces feels like it almost works.
A few things that have helped, but not completely sorted this out for me:
- There’s an options in settings to automatically rearrange spaces based on most recently used (or something like that). Best to make sure that’s turned off (it’s enabled by default) to avoid making yourself crazy.
- This KM macro group is quite helpful: Desktop Spaces • Macros for Navigation and Window Management
- WhichSpace which shows you the number of the space you’re currently in
I go back and forward about whether to treat each desktop as it’s own space and I haven’t settled on that.
But I’m looking forward for to hearing suggestions from others in this area, too.
