displaymacosmission-controlspaces
On OSX 10.9 (maybe other versions, too), I've noticed that the icons for the different spaces in Mission Control behave differently whether or not I have a monitor plugged in.
With a monitor plugged in, the label is always there and there is no magnification effect on hover.
Without a monitor, the labels are only there on hover and there's a magnification effect reminiscent of the dock.
Do you know if there's a way to make it always act like it does when there's a monitor plugged in?
Have you got an existing screen sharing connection? It is one of the main reasons why switching between applications does not work. Failing that try restarting the dock by opening a Terminal window and enter the following command:
killall Dock
I think you're looking for Snap
Snap automatically assigns keyboard shortcuts to apps pinned in your dock using a modifier key (command, option, control, or shift) and the number keys. For example, command+1 opens the 1st app in your dock, command+2 the 2nd, etc.
You don't really need to configure anything in the app. All you need to do is change the order of apps in your dock, but you always have the option of setting manual shortcuts for apps that are not on the dock.
The only problem is that it ignores Finder, so if you have Finder first, Cmd+1 for example, will open the second item in your dock.
You can choose to open with only or a combination of command, option, control and shift with number keys as the triggers for the actual app.

This is due to the differing amount of spaces shown in Mission Control, and both situations can be re-created with independently of the quantity of displays.
When you have a small number of spaces, it shows like this:
When you have lots of spaces, it shows like this:
This is not due to the number of displays you have connected but rather simply the number of spaces you have open.
