Macbook Pro 2016 slow mission control I have just purchased the Macbook Pro 13in without touch bar (My first Mac ever:) and I have noticed that mission control is very laggy. I have been swiping up with 3 fingers to bring up mission control but it is very slow the first time you do it, then for a good minute or two it is very smooth and fast. All Windows: When activated, Mission Control tiles all application windows on the screen and groups multiple windows from the same application together. Dashboard: From Mission Control, the Dashboard can be accessed, which contains Mac OS widgets.
Open Mission Control
- Swipe up with three or four fingers on your trackpad, or double-tap the surface of your Magic Mouse with two fingers.
- Open the Mission Control app, which is in your Applications folder.
- Press the Mission Control key on your Apple keyboard or Touch Bar.
Add spaces and switch between them
The Spaces bar at the top of the Mission Control window contains thumbnails of each desktop space and each window that is in full screen or Split View.
To add a space, move your pointer to the Spaces bar, then click the add button on the right:
When you have multiple spaces, you can switch between them by clicking the thumbnails at the top of the Mission Control window. Or use these methods, which work even when you're not in Mission Control:
- Swipe left or right with three or four fingers on your trackpad, or swipe left or right with two fingers on your Magic Mouse.
- Press Control-Right Arrow or Control-Left Arrow on your keyboard.
Move windows to spaces
When you have more than one space, you can move windows to and from each space. Just drag the window onto the other space's thumbnail in the Spaces bar.
If you drag a window onto an empty area of the Spaces bar, that window opens in full screen in its own new space:
If you drag a window onto the thumbnail of a full-screen app, that window joins the other window in Split View:
