Q: Is it possible to use ^x keyboard shortcuts (System Preferences / Keyboard / Shortcuts / Mission Control / Switch to desktop x) to switch to a fullscreen desktop?

I "fullscreen" e.g. Chrome or vlc or etc (really many apps that manage their own windows well).

 

I use "^3" to switch to desktop 3.  I want to use e.g. ^7 to switch to a fullscreen desktop occupied by Chrome, but instead I have to hit ^4 and then swipe past VLC and Matlab and whatever else before finally arriving at my desired destination.  I feel that someone probably knows how to do this, but I also recognise that MacOS is a little behind Linux in the UI department and perhaps can't do that yet   But please give me good news and correct my ignorance!
