How to activate mission control on your mac

One of the secrets to productivity on Mac is knowing, learning, and using its advanced features and keyboard shortcuts. One of these functions is called Mission Control . Thanks to this feature we can get a complete view of all the desktop spaces, open windows, full-screen apps and Split View spaces, which makes it easier and quicker to switch between them.

With Mission Control your work will be more agile

To activate Mission Control there are different formulas, choose your preferred one, or the one that suits you best at all times. You may:

• Click on the Mission Control icon located in the Dock

  

  You can also click on the same icon inside the Launchpad. It is even faster to slide three or four fingers up on the trackpad of your Mac or on the Magic Trackpad. But if you use a Magic Mouse, you can also double-click on the surface using two fingers.Of course you can also use the keyboard by pressing the Mission Control key

  

  (F3) or the combination Control + Up Arrow. And if you have the version "El Capitan" or higher, drag a window to the top of the screen.

As you have seen, the possibilities that exist to activate Mission Control are not endless, but almost.

Once the Mission Contro l feature is activated, you can see how the screen of your Mac is completely divided. At the top you can see a bar where the different desks or spaces are shown; Below it you will find all the windows you have open on your desktop.

In a first approximation to this function we can say that, if you want to change desktop, all you have to do is move the pointer to that bar and select the space in which you want to work. In the same way, click on any displayed window and it will automatically show the front and you can continue working with it.
