Whenever I click on the maximize/full screen icon on any window, the app window is going to a new Desktop space. But this is kind of distracting because now I am not able to switch apps by doing the Command+ tab shortcut..

so How do I have more than one window in a desktop space..

Lets say I want eclipse,terminal and google chrome in a separate desktop space with the ability to see each app in full screen and the ability to switch between apps by doing the Command+ tab shortcut??

Can somebody help me on this?

  • cannot be done. fullscreen breaks Spaces. I really wish they would fix that. My workaround… never use fullscreen :(

I've just tested now and I'm able to do that (multiple full-screen applications and switching between them with Command + Tab), but it could very well be because I'm using TotalSpaces, an add-on that greatly improves the usability of Spaces.

Note that with OS X El Capitan and later you need to disable parts of System Integrity Protection (SIP) for it to work.

    It is still actively developed. You just have to (for now) disable system integrity protection - blog.binaryage.com/binaryage-moves-ahead

  • Thanks. I've updated my answer accordingly - I'm still using it with 10.12 and it works perfectly.
