Navigating Spaces

Open System Preferences> Keyboard> Shortcuts> Mission Control

Make sure the box is checked for the shortcut to work.

It is also possible to change the shortcut you use to go to a space.

In the screenshot below all mine are ⌘1, ⌘2 etc, etc

in order to change these click to highlight the shortcut

and enter the shortcut you would like to use.

There's an app I made (in the Mac App Store) that lets you name Spaces via the menubar. It also lets you give each Space a unique icon and assign hotkeys for jumping to specific ones (my hotkeys support Command, CTRL, Option, and Shift modifier keys). Because macOS APIs are limited, the names stay in the app and don't show up in Mission Control. But they are persistent.

The app name is CurrentKey Stats: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id1456226992?pt=119982183&ct=asforums&mt=8 Homepage is https://www.currentkey.com

I hope you enjoy!

I looked at System Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Mission Control

and at first I only showed 2 spaces, where your screenshot clearly shows 8.

So I started creating Spaces, and topped out at 16, and the next time I looked at the Mission Control Shortcuts, there were 16. So I learned something (not if I can only keep it in my brain until I need that tidbit 😀

You could get a utility such as BetterTouchTool which has actions for up to 16 spaces. You can bind different keyboard shortcuts to take you to Space 12. But Space 17 is not included.

While I do not use Keyboard Maestro, that is also a utility that might give you ways to map keyboard shortcuts to switch to Space 12

How about cntrl+9+right arrow+right arrow?

Or if Apps are assigned to certain Spaces maybe clicking on the Dock icon for that App?

Good work! :)
