#57758 — Mavericks: "Show One Application At A Time" ?

New to Mavericks:

Trying to find out if I can get Mavericks to behave more like Spaces.  I
cam across instructins to "Show One Application At A Time" ... but not
sure what this means.

Is it possible to have Mavericks show one application on screen at a
time and keep each one in a separate dashboard ?

Here's Apple's writeup about using multiple spaces on Mavericks.
(It says you can have up to 16 spaces.)

  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14155?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

You may also want to use apps in full-screen mode, where nothing but
one app shows on the screen (in that space).  Most or many apps have a
menu item (e.g., under View) called Enter Full Screen (control-cmd-F)
and/or a double diagonal arrow in the top right corner of the screen.

It's mostly* Windows refugees that want "full screen" / single
applications on-screen. They've become used to working that way under
Windows and want the Mac to work that way ... but the Mac is deisnged
and works best in a multi-application way (drag-n-drop from one
application to another for example).

Note for pedantic dimbulbs: that does NOT say "always".

I could not agree less.  Multi apps open and d&d (or at least copy and 
paste) has always been common in Windows (if not quite as 
effectively/elegantly done as in OS X or predecessors).

Smaller screens of yore led to people often working an app in a single 
(or most of screen) view; but it was not required and often not desired. 
  I always had many apps/windows open as did my colleagues.

In work environments, larger displays and multi-displays are very common 
as well - as is multi-tasking/windowing.

Mac user of 20+ years.I just don't want to have multiple windows open at
the same time, browser, email, usenet, spreadsheet, Finder, iTunes,
torrent etc ...

I typically have several applications open. At the moment:

Mail
LaunchBar
iTunes
Stickies
Terminal
Safari
Messages
RealPlayer Downloader
TextWrangler
Xcode
Preview

Do you use Expose or the application switcher (Command-Tab) at all?
Expose lets you easily and quickly switch between applications in a
graphical manner, and the application switcher lets you do it even
faster (although with less choice and visibility in terms of which
window you want to see).

Personally I enjoy having a desktop devoted solely to one app at a time
and any sub windows I may have open along side it.

I'm typically doing several things at once, and need to be able to see
multiple applications on the screen to monitor them or drag things from
one app to another and so on.

Usually if I have multiple applications open at the same time I have 
them running in separate desktops so only the windows associated with a 
single application are visible at a moment in time.

I also have my dock configured so only the currentlly active 
applications plus the Finder and Trash appear in the dock. Clicking on 
the dock icon for an open application will switch the window to that of 
that application.

Perhaps not for everyone but I find it a useful and comfortable way for 
me to manage multiple concurrently active applications.

I don't see the need. I can switch between them quickly enough with the
app switcher and expose. Seems like multiple desktops would just slow me
down, and overlapping windows has never bothered me. Then again I've
been using Mac OS for tons of years; so I'm used to it.

I used to do that, but lately I do keep a handful of often used
applications in the dock indefinitely for easy access when my hand
happens to already be on the track pad.

Yep. Glad we have options!

Nothing to do with it... but you don't mind loads of windows open behind
the one you are working on. And that's fine too :)

Each to his own :-)  Thats why Apple is so great.

If I wish to open an application that doesn't have an icon in the dock 
I use my trackpad to select Recent Items under the Apple in the menu 
bar and almost always the application I wish to open is listed there. 
If not I then use Command Space to open Spotlight and then type a few 
letters unique to the application name, strike return, and open it that 
way.

That's cool. I consider that to be more work, since it involves a click
to view the menu, and then another to open the application. In
contrast, I can open one of the applications I have on the dock with a
single click. I pin just a handful of applications to the dock (5
maybe).

By then you've likely removed your hand from the track pad to type on
the keyboard.

To me the very slight difference in what action is needed to launch 
from Recent Actions as opposed to clicking on a dock icon in minimal. I 
prefer having the dock display only the applications that are truly 
open.

I frequently shift my right hand between keyboard and trackpad and 
consider the time to do such not worth any concern. But if you feel 
otherwise that is your choice!   :-)

That's basically all I have on my Dock, only there are some occasions
when the list of apps I keep open most of the time aren't running, and
I'd like a quick way to get them running if my hand is already on teh
track pad.  Different strokes...

When I'm in the middle of a work day, time is money for me. The faster
the better. That's all.  : )

I use TotalSpaces and TotalFinder.  I'd never found Spaces of much use. 
 Inexplicably in TotalSpaces I love it and it's a part of my basic 
working situation.  I too have as 6-8 program open all the time.

Looks nice :-)  Not a huge difference between it and using Mission
Contorl spaces, but nice nevertheless.

I too enjoy the clutter free feeling of using Spaces while keeping my
current apps all open.

One of the things I like is ctl/shift-space shows all operational 
windows. I'm unsure about Spaces but TotalSpaces allows you to have 
multiple "full-screen" windows open and they take up additional spaces.

There's also hotkeys for each space, as preferred, assigning programs 
to always open within a certain assigned window and other stuff worth 
nothing in Preferences.

I like TotalFinder a lot too.  I'm a fan.
