Animationless desktop switch

Hi,
I actively use desktops. What annoys me is desktop switching animations which are impossible to disable. Would it be possible to implement animationless desktop switch in BTT? Maybe, similarly to what "yabai" does.
Thanks :slight_smile:

I currently don’t know of a method to achieve this without disabling SIP - I’ll check if there is still one, but there might not be. BTT currently doesn’t support things that require disabling SIP

Try to enable "Reduce the movement" in System Settings/Accessibility/Screen. It's the third menu item.

No unfortunately there are no standard settings disabling this specific animation. What it does is just replacing the sliding animation with fade. That's less annoying but still bad.

Found a way to do spaces switches without animation without disabling SIP. I'll add it with the next alpha 5.480. (in a first step I'll only add move space left/right, but I should be able to make it go to a specific space without animation as well)

(it's not completely without animation but it's very short)

Yayy! It works! Thanks Andreas!
There are also actions to move the active window left/right or to the specific space. These actions are also prone to animations. Just a reminder :wink:

unfortunately for these I haven’t found a working solution yet ;-(

Beautiful :heart:

If you are already on the last left or right space but still activate the trigger again BTT tries to move to the same space (with the tiny animation).
Is there a way to prevent BTT from moving on if you are already on the last space?
