Mission Control

Mission Control helps you manage your workflow. Swipe up with three or four fingers on your mouse or trackpad (alternatively press £). From here you can see all open apps and switch between them. To create new ‘Spaces’ click the + icon in the top right of Mission Control. Think of these as additional desktops you can arrange your open apps on and quickly switch between by swiping left or right with two fingers on the mouse (three fingers with trackpad, or press ≈ and left or right keys). You can also create a split-screen view between two apps by clicking and holding the green icon in the top left of the app window. You can then choose which half of the screen you want the app, and then click another open app to fill the remaining half. To get back to the desktop, swipe to Mission Control.
