I recently came across [BetterMouse](https://better-mouse.com/) which offers "Unique fast version of spaces switching, mission control gestures." I was under the impression the only way to speed up this animation was to use a program like yabai to disable animations, which requires disabling SIP. But I downloaded BetterMouse and lo and behold it does work, no SIP disabling required, and space switching is extremely fast using it's version of 3 finger swipe gestures.

Is it possible to duplicate this functionality in BetterTouchTool? This would be a game changer for me.

Edit: It seems like someone else has realized this is possible without disabling SIP as well, and there is another implementation floating around (though it seems to work somewhat differently IMO): [Disabling Space Switch Animations seems to be possible now without disabling SIP - M1 Macbook](https://community.folivora.ai/t/disabling-space-switch-animations-seems-to-be-possible-now-without-disabling-sip-m1-macbook/29754)

I am still using yabai, and I think your idea is excellent. I'm looking forward to seeing it realized by talented individuals.

It's now possible to switch spaces with only a tiny animation.
