    I don’t really get this but I’m going to assume it’s that my workflow is just different than yours.

    I have keyboard shortcuts I’m happy with that let me navigate my virtual desktops as desired and place widows on them. If I wasn’t happy with those shortcuts I could change them. I can see having different preferences, or etc, but what makes it a hot mess exactly?

      When I Alt-tab it always goes to the apps open on the next desktop, and never shows the apps on the current desktop. So, say I have Vivaldi and KWrite on desktop 1, and Brave and LibreOffice Calc on desktop 2.

      If I’m on desktop 1 on Vivaldi and Alt-tab, it’ll move to Desktop 2 and move between Brave and Calc, and but will never show anything from Desktop 1, until I release the Alt key and Alt-tab again.

      Now, for me it’s even worse since I have 3 Desktops instead of 2.

        Have you dug into the options at all? If I’m visualizing what you are describing correctly, I think spending some time here should solve your issues.

        edit - specifically the options in the lower right
