instant idiot Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I like to have several always-open fullscreen windows of iTerm, but the one bit I haven't been able to get working is a keyboard shortcut to switch to them. I'm hoping I can bind them to CRTL+OPTION+F1, F2, etc... In System Prefrences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts I am allowed to assign shortcuts to all the desktops, but fullscreen windows don't show up there. Any ideas appreciated!

instant idiot Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks for the suggestion; that sort of works, but what I'm looking for is a key sequence that switches non-interactively to a particular fullscreen window. (like CTRL+ALT+F1 with Linux) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 http://mattgemmell.c...s-on-os-x-lion/ ? The point is to assign the specific application to start in the predefined space/desktop, then use a shortcut to switch to the above space/desktop. Spaces/Desktops are the feature I miss most in Windows Very simple, yet very useful feature, Microsoft doesn't seem to be interested to implement.

instant idiot Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Much closer! Now the problem is if I have more than one iTerm window open in more than one desktop and log out (iTerm opens automatically upon login), the windows all cluster around one desktop instead of all going where they're supposed to go (one window per desktop). Speaking of desktops on Windows, in my opinion, the program Dexpot does an excellent job of adding multiple desktops to windows. It has lots of features including switching between desktops with keyboard shortcuts, hot corners, windows assigned to multiple desktops, and on and on . . .

instant idiot Posted May 4, 2013 Author Share Posted May 4, 2013 Good is never enough Indeed. Try this one https://github.com/jigish/slate one of the features create, delete, and activate snapshots of the current state of windows Aha, now that looks like it'll do the trick as soon as I figure out how to configure it; it seems it has no GUI. I'll keep you posted if I get it working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
