How does switching between desktops work on Mac Ventura? Occasionally things download on a separate desktop window and I am unable to either move them to the main window I am working in or even switch back to that window. I have not discovered any foolproof ways to navigate between other desktop windows. Frankly, I have no use for other desktop windows...can I turn that feature off entirely? I have been using Macs since system 6...that's right FORTY years! and I still do not have a clear picture of how desktop windows work...HELP!
