This offers a fantastic way to quickly navigate through depths of open apps and windows and to quickly get to what window or app youre looking for.

Each activation method is different but the end result is always the same; you will see all open windows on the Mac.

Clicking or hovering a mouse over any one opens them to show Mission Control in the present desktop but a miniature of the top app in each desktop which gives me an idea of which desktop I need to switch to by clicking on it.

Agree it would be more useful if Mission Control would show ALL open files in all desktops.

I couldnt see the ones behind the front window, so I had to click on the top slice of each hidden window to see it.

So I copied the ones in the screenshot, and now I can see all the windows.

Ive added a note about disabling that to get the tile thumbnail view in Mission Control.

I hold Command, tap Tab and I do see a graphical list of open apps.

But if the App I choose is not on the current Desktop (er, Space) then nothing changes, the Apps list just fades away.

OTOH, Im impressed Apple provides sufficient low-level access that such fundamental functions can be added at all by 3rd party apps.

Restricting open Windows to the current Desktop rather defeats the point of having multiple Desktops.

An inadvertent swipe on a track pad involves it, even if you turn off the gesture via system preferences.

Mission Control is such an under rated feature in OS, and is especially nice with maxed out RAM.

Is there way to show everything That would be more useful since I usually know what is on a given Desktop, but I loose track of what is on each Desktop.
