Greetings niqin!

We see you are trying to use a keyboard shortcut to change screen in Split View. We are happy to help get that setup for you! You will want to go to System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Keyboard > Move focus to active or next window > Set shortcut you prefer. That should get you all set.

Take care!

MitchellT18,

That's it, thank you, that works with multiple Apps open.

I read somewhere that ⌘⇥ did a similar thing and had been testing it on my iMac and macBook when I received your message. ⌘⇥ goes via Applications Switcher. Extra TABs allows you to move through the Apps and releasing the CMD moves you to the selected APP and hides the switcher.

Your suggestion is neater and avoids the Applications Switcher.

Both avoids the need to enter Full Screen on either window to use the CMD-left/rightArrow that I originally suggested.

Thanks again.
