Finding your way around

The sidebar lists everything a workspace can focus; the command palette, numbered shortcuts, and cycling get you to any of it without reaching for the mouse.

Numbered targets

⌘1 through ⌘9, and ⌘0 for the tenth, in the same order as the sidebar rows. Clicking a row does the same thing its number does: it focuses the pane or Chrome tab, or starts a not-yet-running process and opens it.

Command palette

⌘⌥- opens the command palette from anywhere. With nothing typed it shows Alerts first, then your most recently focused targets. Typing fuzzy-searches by name first, then by secondary text. ⌘X dismisses the highlighted alert.

Cycling

⌘⌥] and ⌘⌥[ step forward and back through the open windows of the current cycling mode; ⌘⌥\ switches mode. There are four modes: Workspace, Alerts, All agents, and Open sessions. A row pinned at the bottom of the sidebar shows the current mode and how many windows it holds; a small panel confirms each mode switch. The chosen mode is remembered across launches.

Switching workspaces

⌘⌥↓ and ⌘⌥↑ select the next or previous workspace in the sidebar.

Showing and hiding Spaces

⌘⌥= works from any app. It hides the whole app, panel windows included, when Spaces' main window is focused; otherwise it brings the main window forward, even if a panel window or the Editor is what's focused instead.

Recovery

Spaces never polls a tracked browser-session window; it checks only when you focus that session and resolves a stale one silently, reopening a closed tab or finding a moved one by its URL, with nothing to confirm (see Browser sessions). A workspace with a stale window or a failed process carries a warning icon next to its status instead of a prompt; hover it to see what needs attention.
