Quick switching between Desktop Spaces with Control Keys in Mac OS X



In OS X Lion, you can quickly switch between desktops and spaces that are active by three finger swipe sideways while this can be made still faster with the Control keys.
By default, the Control + Arrow key (Control + Left Arrow to switch to the desktop space on the left and Control + Right to switch it to the right) is the first option and it is enabled.
The second option that is faster makes use of the Control + Number keys and it has to be enabled by doing the following steps:
Open the System Preferences from the menu
Go to Keyboard and then select the Keyboard Shortcuts option
Select Mission Control from the list that is on the left
Check the options Switch to Desktop 1 and so on as per the number of desktops that you require
Exit the System Preferences
Now you have to press Control + 1 to go to Desktop 1 and so on to move to the particular desktops. This method is the fastest one to switch between the desktops in OS X Lion.
