Turn off animation when switching between fullscreen apps

I figured this out! 🙂

Just go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Display

And turn on "Reduce motion".

This would be great.

I use CMD + tab to switch between apps all-the-time, so I can't use apps in fullscreen for EXACTLY this reason.

Hi slavsan,

I don't have much time right now to try this, but maybe you can run a program. The program puts the display to sleep, shifts to the other full screen (toggles), then awakens the display.

Good Luck,

I'm running a little late. Couldn't get away from this puzzle. Basically, what you do is put display to sleep. Then use a toggled that presses Control + left arrow (or right arrow). Then, after a second, you press the space bar or something else to wake up the display. Here's part of it:

do shell script "pmset displaysleepnow"

tell application "System Events"

key code 123 using control down -- left arrow

-- make toggler

-- key code 124 using control down -- right arrow

end tell

Gotta go.

Testing with this script which I'm running from the Script menu:

do shell script "pmset displaysleepnow"

tell application "System Events"

set front_process to name of first process whose frontmost is true

end tell

if front_process is "Terminal" then

tell application "Calendar" to activate

else

tell application "Terminal" to activate

end if

beep 1

Here I'm running Calendar and Terminal in full screen with one of them selected. After the beep, press some key.

Still checking if there is an easier way to wake the computer. We might need to schedule a wake time like in 1 second or 2. Will be testing it later.

Gotta go again.

Have you tried using the control - left/right arrow to switch Desktops? You can also use control - (number of the Desktop), such as control - 3.

Got it working by making an Animator service app with a shortcut. If you're interested write back. I'm not completely finished yet, but won't waste time if you're not interested.

Thanks it's worked
