WHAT IS MISSION CONTROL?

Mission Control provides an overview of all currently open windows and full-screen applications, allowing for quick switching and management.

SOLUTION

0. Settings Screen:

   0. Click on the Desktop & Dock menu.
   1. Navigate to the Mission Control section.
   2. Uncheck the option for Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use.

OPTIONS DESCRIPTION

0. Automatically rearrange Spaces based on most recent use:

   When this option is enabled, the most recently used spaces (desktop environments) are automatically arranged to the left. Disabling this option will prevent the order of spaces from changing.

1. When switching to an application, switch to a Space with open windows for the application:

   Enabling this option will automatically switch to the space where the windows for the specific application are open when you switch to that application.

2. Group windows by application:

   When this option is enabled, multiple windows of the same application will be grouped together in the Mission Control view.

3. Displays have separate Spaces:

   This allows each display in a multi-display setup to have its own separate spaces. Enabling this option lets you set up independent desktop environments for each monitor.
