Can't find a way to stop mission control on Mojave :Thinking: :sos: :thanx:
-
In Big Sur, you can launch Mission Control via System Preferences and uncheck all the boxes. I don't know it that helps in Mojave.
-
I’ve never seen a use for that “feature” but looking at the details at Apple, there seem to be four different ways to turn it ON/OFF. Perhaps a search at Apple Support would suffice? Interweb search is your friend! :coolio: :yes:
-
Search à lot on the web...coudn't find a way ..on Mojave there' no on of switch ! :wallbash:
-
Are you saying that you typed something like "mission control" (with or without the quotation marks) in your favorite search engine and you did NOT get a single "hit"?! :blueeek: I have 9 hits, on my first page of results (without even using "mac"). That's using Search in the DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com/?t=osx) browser, which does not have the most highly developed search engine around.
I suggest using any result that points to "Apple Support" since those pages usually have an OS picker allowing you to select your OS. The page I found that discusses Mission Control shows that feature has been around at least since High Sierra! :WOW:
Just my opinion but I've found that the more items you include in a search, the fewer results you usually get. :doh: Of course, if you think you already know an important key word, include that by all means. :Thinking:
As I said before, it appears that it must be turned on, however the OS does it. So, to avoid it being a nuisance, don't turn it on. :no2: :nono: :wallbash:
-
The answers i got ...are from other OS nothing for Mojave ...that doesn't have the on of switch on Mission control ( system preferences )
If somebody has a link...?
Anyway thanks for your reply !

When you say "turn off" Mission Control exactly what happens that you do not want to have happen? Mission Control only does anything if you activate it by either a combination of keys that are selected in the MC preferences or by using "hot corners"(or the icon in dock).
If you use the default combo of keys (Control + up arrow), then Mission Control will show the windows of all open apps. Control + down arrow shows windows only from the active app. However you can set those keystrokes to something else. Hot corners can be set to show all apps or desktop or several other things.
Check to see if maybe you are accidentally using those keystrokes or hot corners to make Mission Control activate.

Are you using an Apple Keyboard?
Does it have a row of function keys?
Does the F3 key have a group of small outlines of three or four small rectangles? (see second image below
Theoretically that F3 key opens Mission Control. Are you pressing that key accidentally?
This Apple Support (https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/open-windows-spaces-mission-control-mh35798/10.14/mac/10.14) page (see attached image and be sure to select your OS :toothgrin:) describes how to turn Mission Control ON/OFF.
You should also check what you have set for "Hot Corners".
On your Mac, choose Apple menu-> System Preferences, click Desktop & Screen Saver icon, then click Screen Saver.
1. Click Hot Corners.
2. Click the pop-up menu for the corners you want to use, choose Start Screen Saver, then click OK.
Check the pop-up menu to see if "Mission Control" is an option for one or more corners.
Essentially, if you can find any of these methods for turning Mission Control ON/OFF, try to avoid any of those key(s). If it is one of the Hot Corners, change that corner to "-" or some other choice.
