Ask HN: How to remove space switch delay on macOS?
On macOS, when you switch between Spaces or move to a fullscreen app using gestures or Mission Control, there’s a delay where:
- The new Space or fullscreen app visually appears on screen
- But keyboard or input focus hasn’t yet fully shifted — meaning you can’t immediately start typing or issuing shortcuts to the app
I already reduced the motion in settings to the minimum and switched to fade instead of sliding animation.
I know that people solve it with yabai, but I'm hesitant to spend a day figuring implications of disabling SIP to use yabai. Is there any way to just remove the delay and make transitions instantaneous? Try keyboard shortcuts (native or with Keyboard Maestro).
