Switch to Previous Desktop Space

Does anyone know KBM user David Purnell? He has a utility on Github that is based on WhichSpace, that is called SpaceInfo.

I'm asking if anyone knows him because in his notes about SpaceInfo, he says

I use this with Keyboard Maestro to manipulate windows across multiple spaces and displays.

I also just discovered that he has posted his KBM macros in Github at

so I'm going to have to look at those for useful tricks.

Given how much this thread discusses this issue, I think it's worth noting going forward that a Space Changed trigger has been included in KBM 11.0.

Just for fun, I ran that image through the new KM v11 OCR action, and it returned this nearly 100% accurate result:

CreAtive

a Mess,

For comparison, the OCR from v10 results in this:

Creahve ©

sAMess, —

Which is roughly 20% accurate.

The failure rate was about 1% vs 80%. That's 80 times fewer errors.
