TUAW Tip: Assigning apps to Spaces

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Jan 24th, 2008


Spaces, Leopard's virtual desktop feature, is excellent for expanding your desktop by up to 16 workspaces, however, it would be really cool if you could assign specific applications to always open in the same space. Well, you can!

All you have to do is open the Spaces preference pane (Apple Menu > System Preferences > Exposé and Spaces > Spaces tab). Once there, just drag the application you would like to add to the specific space in the overview pane.

You can also add applications by using the list below the spaces overview, which is also how you remove the application assignments (just click the application in the list and then click the minus button).

Thanks, Tim!

Tip of the Day

F11 moves all your windows off the screen so you can quickly glance at your desktop. F10 shows you every open window in an application. F9 shows every open window for every application that isn't hidden or in the dock.
