If you want to move apps between Spaces, the easiest way to do it is open Mission Control (control + up arrow) and drag the thumbnail into the desired space at the top of the Mission Control screen. If you put the full screen app in its own Space, however, you can easily flick back and forth from it by using the control + left/right arrow keys, which scrolls between your open Spaces. If you’re running one app in full screen on a Space with open apps, it can be tricky to reach the apps hiding behind the big one. Spaces are also great for handling full-screen apps, such as games. It’s a handy way to stop being distracted by the latest Twitter rumblings when you’re meant to be working! So, you might have a Space for all of your work apps and a space for the social media apps that you check in breaks.

If you’ve opened Mission Control and there are eight or nine different thumbnails staring back at you, it’s probably time to start spreading out across different Spaces. Spaces can help keep your desktop tidy Barry Collins
