Switching desktops on a Mac

Hi

Before I splash out on an expensive extra mouse I'm playing with JD on my iPad Pro 10.5 with BT keyboard connecting to my Mac Book Pro running Mojave.

I often run multiple desktops or fullscreen apps and normally I switch between desktops by with swipes on my trackpad/magic mouse or a double tab of my mouse that brings up a taskbar when I can select the desktop.

I can't work out any way to switch desktops when connecting through Jump. Is there a way? Ideally I'd like to be able to swipe left and right in some way.

Also, is it possible on a Swiftpoint GT mouse?

Thank you

Marc

  Hi,

  You can switch between desktops / spaces using the Ctrl + Left Arrow / Right Arrow shortcuts. Also - the onscreen keyboard has a mapping for this too if you bring up the keyboard and then swipe the top rows of keys. You’ll see a button with a little monitor icon and arrows pointing left or right.

  At the moment there is no way to do this with the Swiftpoint mouse - but this a good suggestion. We’ll consider adding this.

  Thank you for the quick reply. Although I feel a little stupid now! I could have sworn I had tried that, must have tried every key combination other than that.

  It does quite well switching between desktops considering I'm currently running on a 34" ultra-wide monitor!

  It would be great if you could add it to Swiftpoint, it's something I need a lot, especially if I'm going to cope with a small screen.

  Is there any hope you'll be able to support other BT devices? I find it hard to live without my Magic mouse now...

  Swiftpoint: We'll definitely look into this.

  Other BT Devices: We're always looking for other BT mice to support. At the moment though, iOS requires explicit support from the mouse - so the manufacturer has to build the support in.
