For example in Keyboard Shortcuts click the on the ^← (Move left a space) to highlight it; then press Command + Something to change it. I don't believe you can use the Tab key as part of the combination — since it moves keyboard focus between controls. (i updated the screen capture to reflect the change).

| Nov 19, 2012 at 16:27 | comment | added | Render | Yes I meant command+tab. Yeah the answer is just what I needed to switch to the menubar. But what I mean is, can I still switch to the space of the active application using command+tab+something rather than use Ctrl + arrow keys to switch spaces ? | |

| Nov 19, 2012 at 15:46 | comment | added | l'L'l | Alt + Tab? I use Command + Tab to switch only to the menubar as your original question asked. To switch to another application on another Desktop I use Control + Arrow keys (up, down, left, right). If you go into the keyboard shortcuts you can map whatever keys however you want — it's entirely up to you. | |
| Nov 19, 2012 at 12:44 | comment | added | Render | Oh I meant the same default Alt + Tab feature, where you can switch to the space with the active application using Alt + Tab .. because now it just changes the menubar to active application without switching to it. So I meant is there a way I can switch to the application instead of just changing the menubar ?? Like Alt + Tab + Q closes an application, is there another shortcut to force switch to it ? | |

| Nov 19, 2012 at 1:46 | comment | added | Render | Perfect, that solves what I want. BUT what if I want to actually retain the previous setting .. Is there a way I can keep this as default, while switching to the space the application is active in using the same Alt+Tab shortcut ? | |
