How to create and use Spaces virtual desktops in macOS?

Spaces virtual desktops in macOS are a convenient tool for organizing various work contexts, allowing you to separate windows by categories, projects, or applications. This helps avoid visual clutter on the screen and focus on a specific task without closing necessary programs.

To create a new virtual desktop, invoke Mission Control by swiping up with three or four fingers on the trackpad or pressing the corresponding function key on the keyboard. At the top of the screen, the spaces control panel will appear, where you need to hover the cursor over the right edge and click the plus button that appears to add an empty desktop.

You can easily switch between created spaces using a four-finger swipe left or right gesture on the trackpad, or configure quick shortcuts for this through System Settings by going to Keyboard and then to Mission Control shortcut settings.
