Research direction
Start by locating Loop’s existing action for moving a window to a different space and trace how its space selection is implemented. Use that path to determine where a switch-space action belongs, then verify that it changes macOS spaces without moving the focused window and that the action is available through Loop.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Feature Request Summary
Although switching between spaces is a standard feature of macOS, I think it’s useful to be able to do so from “Loop.”
Problem / Opportunity & Desired Solution
The default key binding uses the Control key and the arrow keys, but it’s frustrating that macOS reserves this combination because it’s the one developers typically want to use in text editors.
If we could use “Loop” for this operation, we could free up the Control key.
Since “Loop” already includes an action to move a window to a different space, I think it would be consistent if we could switch spaces using a similar operation.
