The animationless desktop switch is great. Is it possible to have the same functionality also for the window switcher when the window is in another space (apple lingo for desktop)?
Currently, when I use the window switcher to go to a different full screen window there are three problems, which might be related to problems discussed for animationless desktop switching for full screen apps.
- BTT switches individually over all spaces as if I would manually click through all of them until it reaches the destination.
- Sometimes, it does not work for whatever reason and this switching stops too early or too late in any other space, or it just jumps back to the space from where I initiated the window switch.
- It would be nice if one could avoid the OS animation and use the new animation less transition.
1 and 2 seem to be issues only if the target window is a full screen window.
I noticed the following in a different context: If a window is actually displaying a document that exists in the file system, one can call open -a <application> <file>. This transitions to the correct space with only one normal OS animation. It’s probably too restrictive for a general BTT approach, since some windows like browsers are not associated with a file. But it lets me hope, that there is some OS functionality, which lets you do an immediate switch to the correct window.
I hope it is okay, that I post it in this thread.
