application-switcherfullscreenyoutube
I just installed Witch for one reason only which is that if I make a youtube video fullscreen in Chrome then ⌘tab to another app, when I ⌘tab again to get back to the youtube video OSX instead just switches to the browser in the current space.
Unfortunately when I tried Witch it lets me switch back to the youtube video but the youtube.com is now full screen prompt appears AND NEVER DISAPPEARS.
How can I fix this?
This isn't a perfect answer, but it's a smooth workaround. In System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Mission Control you can map a keyboard shortcut to "Turn Do Not Disturb On/Off." I chose command shift spacebar as I believe it does not overlap any default keyboard shortcuts and it's similar to activating Spotlight. Now I simply hit those keys to quickly hide and show notifications.
I have never had that issue with YouTube, but similar things happen a lot with Facebook's videos and this helps.
Pinch with 2 fingers to zoom all the way out until you see this:
Once you see this, click the YouTube tab again.
Hover over the URL Bar so you can see the refresh icon like this:
Click on the refresh icon so that the page refreshes.

It turns out Chrome is apparently creating some special window called "Window". Witch sees that as the previous window and ⌘tab switched to it, not the actual video window. This takes me to the correct space for the video but it's the wrong window.
The solution is to tell Witch to ignore windows with the name "Window" by adding
,Windowthe the "Ignore windows with titles:" Behavior settings.
