I like before it does everything that someone would expect of it and that it runs on Windows 10.

Absolutely brilliant tool that nobody seems to know about. I cannot wait to see what more comes from this as it is actively developed. Allows very quick efficient switching of desktops. A+

What is mDesktop?

mDesktop is a lightweight application that allows the user to utilize multiple virtual desktops. Also, mDesktop integrates with Hotcorners. mDesktop currently supports up to ten virtual desktops.

Instructions:

Holding Alt-Desktop Index (e.g. Alt-1, Alt-2...) switches between desktops

Keystroke Alt-Ctrl-Desktop Index sends the active window to selected window (e.g. Alt-Ctrl-2 sends active window to the second virtual desktop)

Right Clicking on tray icon and selecting option "Hide Icon" hides the mDesktop tray icon while the application is still running, allowing you to have a "boss" workspace.
