Change space of other non-active display via keyboard

keyboardspaces

My two displays (let call them A and B) have separate spaces. I can go back and forth among the spaces on the active/focussed display A. Is it possible to go back and forth among the spaces on B with keyboard shortcuts and without moving the focus to B?

I do not mean assigning keyboard shortcuts to each space, because there are more than ten spaces and plenty of maximized windows.

There is another question here on Ask Different that answer this question: Keyboard shorcut to switch focus between multiple displays on OS X 10.9.5 + (mavericks, el capitan, sierra)

Here's the quick summary:

There are some utilities (window managers) that allow you to assign a keyboard shortcut to the focus of a specific monitor. They are as follows (links provided):

  • Catchmouse (No longer available so it's a moot point here)
  • Divvy - $13
  • SizeUp - $13
  • Slate - Open Source, Free. Functional, but there's a lot of manual configuration to be done here and not as easy as the paid software.
