Hi All,
I've searched through the release notes, but I can't find a method
to call the switch spaces programmatically. Is there no API for this?
No, nor does there appear to be a good way to tell what the current
Space is (which at least is symmetric)
You can, however, use the AppleScript bridge to talk to the System
Events app to find out things such as the Spaces width and height,
turn it on and off, as well as finding out if the user has enabled a
keyboard modifier to allow using the number key navigation, and, if
so, you can use the low level CG routines to post the corresponding
key down/up events.
Of course, if the user doesn't have that enabled, there's nothing you
can do (plus, the scripting bridge has a problem with fact that the
key modifiers can be either a string or a list and appears to generate
code for a single item, when a list is actually returned).
(That being said, the AppleScript bridge is _really_ cool...)
