MacOS – How to jump between Spaces on OS X when some are Fullscreen

How to jump between Spaces on OS X using some key + number?

I know I can jump between Desktops (not including fullscreen apps) using Ctrl ⌃ [num] . I know I can jump between Spaces using Ctrl ⌃ ← / → , but sometimes I want to jump from Desktop#1 to fullscreen app#5 and I want to be able to do this by pushing just one hotkey.

Can I do it on Mac OS somehow?
Or maybe you can advise me of some additional software to install to achieve such functionality?

Thank you.

I'm with @Tetsujin on this one. I never use fullscreen apps.

However, you could do what you want with Total Spaces 2.

Make sure to check the compatibility info below the download button.

Let's say you use 3 fullscreen apps:

  1. Close the full screen apps and create 3 extra spaces.
  2. Once you got those spaces, give them shortcuts In Total Spaces 2.
  3. Once the shortcuts are created, remove the extra spaces
    • Total Spaces will remember the shortcuts.
  4. Then add 3 new columns, but don't press the add desktop button.
    • This essentially reserves spots for the full screen apps
