Knock to switch Spaces
Tap the left palm rest to move one Space to the left, or the right palm rest to move one Space to the right.
How it works
- It uses the macOS keyboard shortcuts "Move left a space" and "Move right a space" in System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Mission Control. They're on by default. If you've turned them off or changed them, the taps do nothing.
- You need at least two Spaces or full-screen apps.
- The switch happens a moment after the tap, once ChassisWatch has confirmed it was a single tap. Double and triple taps remain free for other automations.
