While using Mission Control and pressing Control ⌃+↑, I get the tiled view of all the applications in that particular desktop. Is there a keyboard shortcut to choose an application in this view?

I think so too. Thank you @Jonathan. I will keep this question open and will try to see if there are other workarounds.– billygoatJun 21, 2012 at 16:30

Try hyperswitch (https://bahoom.com/hyperswitch) - you can switch between windows only from current desktop.
No. I haven't found any, but that's not surprising. Mission Control was provided for mouse / touch interaction. Have you tried using Command ⌘+Tab for app switching and Command ⌘+`for window switching?
They are much more efficient if you're interested in keeping your hands on the keys.

Command + Tab switches over all the open application. If there is a way to sandbox that behavior to a particular desktop, it will be much more useful. It is also surprising that there is a lack of consistency. Arrow keys works, while working with multiple windows of same application. Jun 25, 2012 at 14:36

Okay. Now that is doable. Visit System Preferences-> Mission Control and uncheck When Switching to an application, switch to a space with open windows for the application. See this SuperUser link for more details.– ephsmithJun 25, 2012 at 14:52

@SuitUp, can you make it an answer? I think it needs to be the accepted answer Jul 10, 2016 at 4:52
You can type the name of the window (not the name of the app) and it will select the windows in mission control that matchs. What I don't know how to swicth between all the coincidences.
