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 tried a variety of key combos but to no avail. I'm not sure that it is possible... Jun 21, 2012 at 16:21
  • I think so too. Thank you @Jonathan. I will keep this question open and will try to see if there are other workarounds.

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.

  • 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.

  • @SuitUp, can you make it an answer? I think it needs to be the accepted answer

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.
