Command+Tab Controls

Is there a way to make it so that when i command+tab, my desktops don't shift positions? For example if if i have chrome, pages and messages open fullscreen, Command+tab shifts them around. Is there a way to lock their positions so that when i hit f3 (swipe up 3 fingers) the desktops don't move because i command+tab?

Keyboard switching between full screen application windows If I have two windows of an application and open them in full screen, neither the CMD+TAB nor CMD+` switch between them. How can I switch effectively between applications using the keyboard, without having to scroll through the list of desktops/full screen applications? Thanks in advance

MX Master 3 Thumb wheel not working to switch out of Safari desktop Hi, I prefer to use the thumb wheel to move between desktops on my MacBook. It works well, but when I'm using safari, it's not working to get me back to another desktop. When in Safari, it will switch between tabs but not desktops. Thank you for any help.

Two full-screen windows of the same app; any way to switch between those two windows (similar to the way command-` works in non-full-screen apps) using only the keyboard? If I have two full-screen windows of the same app, is there any way to switch between those two windows (similar to the way ⌘-` works in non-full-screen apps) using only the keyboard? I know you can switch between spaces using control with the left & right arrow keys, but what I'm after is a way to toggle between windows of the same application, not between spaces. Essentially, looking for the ⌘-` behavior with full-screen windows as well. Things that don't work: Four-finger swiping with mission control (toggles spaces, not windows of the same app) System Preferences -> Mission Control -> When switching to an application, switch to space (doesn't allow toggling between two full-screen windows of the same app) Anything that toggles between spaces rather than full-screen windows of the same app Third-party solutions would be ok too. Thanks!

Thanks heaps.

In mission control switching off the top setting (automatically rearrange) fixed it.

Does it do the same if you click on their Dock icons?

In Sys Prefs>Mission control, what are the top3 or 4 settings?
