Ask HN: How to remove space switch delay on macOS?

3 points by kulikalov ↗ HN
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).
