How to Use Multiple Desktops

The video on the Right was number1 search result for "Mac Mini".
The three rectangles are above F4 on my SATECHI type keyboard, rather than above F3 as mentioned in both videos. :?

F4 opens the door to Mission Control. :mrgreen:

My plus sign didn't appear on the right. Me thought Mr. Dock was covering it up so I shrunk his little head, but nope said "+" is on the left. :geek:

Unfortunately, macOS does not natively allow renaming desktop spaces (also known as virtual desktops or Mission Control spaces). The default naming convention is “Desktop 1”, “Desktop 2”, and so on. However, there are some workarounds and third-party solutions to help you identify and organize your desktop spaces:

Stickies App: Create a sticky note for each desktop space and place it at the bottom center of the screen. This way, you can easily identify the space and its corresponding sticky note.

Total Spaces: This third-party app (available on GitHub) allows you to rename desktop spaces. It uses SIMBL to hook into the display functionality and provides a menu bar button to rename the desktops.

MacForge: Another third-party solution, MacForge, offers a plugin called Spaces Renamer. It allows you to rename desktop spaces, but it requires some technical setup and may not work on newer macOS versions.

Custom Icons: Assign custom icons to each desktop space using the Finder’s “Get Info” panel. This way, you can visually distinguish between spaces.
Keyboard Shortcuts: Use keyboard shortcuts to quickly switch between desktop spaces. You can assign a shortcut to each space using System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control.

While these workarounds and third-party solutions can help you organize and identify your desktop spaces, they do not provide a native renaming feature. If you’re interested in renaming desktop spaces, you can submit feedback to Apple and request this feature in future macOS updates.
Me associated digits will do nicely i.e. Desktop4.1047 is Junk and Desktop8.1847 is for awesome Rhino3D 7ype 5tuff. :!:

I'm planning on switching to a Linux distro soon. You can do same with Linux too. In fact Windows 10+ has virtualization built in which allows you to run multiple operating systems on one machine or to launch an instance of an app within it's own virtual environment when running the software in your normal environment is not possible or available.

I'm on Windows 10 don't intend to update to 11. MacOS is derived from FreeBSD, essentially, which is a version of Unix. Linux/Unix pretty much the same.

3. Scripting: As mentioned in one of the search results, it’s possible to create a VBA script (in Excel) or AppleScript (in Numbers) to generate hyperlinks to local files or folders. However, this requires programming expertise and may not be feasible for non-technical users.
