1st step

Create a virtual desktop environment.

Assume you're in the middle of a work project or a research endeavor.

Opening new tabs in windows all day when you need to deal with another task will just slow you down and muck up your productivity, so you need a new clean desktop.

Simply hit the Windows key + control + d' (or control + up if you're on a Mac)

mac It will switch to a brand new desktop and you will be ready to go.

2nd step:

Alter the virtual desktops.

Okay, but where has all the valuable work you did previously gone forever? Ah, don't worry, it's only hiding until you can get it back. hold down the windows key and the control key at the same time.

You can now move between all the virtual desktops with the command key or the control key on a Mac.

Using the left and right arrow keys, you've created.

When you're finished with the second task, be sure you don't need that desktop by pressing the Windows key + control plus f4 on a Mac to dismiss it.

To close any open desktop spaces, hold down the option key and click on the x marks that appear over them.

3rd step:

Apps can be used to get back to the desktop.

If you have a lot of programs open and need to utilize another one that's buried behind all those windows on your desktop, you may minimize them all at once by pressing the windows key plus m.

You may also gaze at your desktop by pressing windows key + comma (or command + f3 for os). This is a useful little technique if you deal with information from desktop widgets or if you really need to look at the fluffy kittens or fields of peaceful green grass you use as your desktop background.

4th step:

From the task bar, launch an app.

If you want much faster access to your most used programs, keep them on your taskbar. You can speed up your workflow even more by pressing the windows key and a number key from onedeny, where each number symbolizes each app in your taskbar from left to right.

This combination will bring up the required one.

Unfortunately, there is no equivalent hotkey for OS, but I'm confident that mac customers are happy with the mac's excellent app navigation.

5th step:

Two apps are split across the screen.

Do you want to witness a magic trick? Try this: open one program for your work and press the windows key plus left arrow, then open another app and press the windows key plus right arrow. Now two windows are sharing your screen, allowing you to double-check facts in your academic work while looking directly at your sources. While watching bright side videos, it's no trouble to do some photo editing.

It's that simple.

6th step:

Toggle between apps

There are various methods for switching between apps and managing them on your desktop using hotkeys. Control + alt + tab will bring up a list of all the apps presently operating on your computer. Because Macs are famed for their app navigation prowess, it's a little easier on OS X; it's just control plus tab.

Press the windows key plus tab to open the task view in another method. This is the equivalent of the maximum mission control on a computer. It gives you a more comprehensive picture of open windows and available desktops, and it's a lot easier to use.

Finally, on a Mac, the hotkey alt plus tab or command plus tab allows you to switch apps without having to first display them like a deck of cards.

This one is for you if you just deal with a couple of windows at a time.
