WINDOWCOUNT() but just for the current space?

Questions & Suggestions

Hi, @alexcr. There is a free application named WhichSpace which displays the current Desktop Space in the Mac menubar. It can also provide that number via AppleScript:

try
	tell application "System Events"
		tell process "WhichSpace"
			set temp to (title of menu bar items of menu bar 1)
		end tell
	end tell
	return item 1 of temp
on error
	return ""
end try

The following related information might be more than you need...

I use WhichSpace in a set of macros that I have shared: Desktop Spaces • Macros to Improve Navigation and Window Management. If you want to dig into the details, I suggest you check out two macros in that set:

  • sub—Get DesktopNo
  • Go to Previous Desktop
