If you never use Mission Control than it is possible to disable the feature entirely and save resources. If you disable Mission Control you also disable the Spaces feature, before disabling Mission Control, close all of your spaces.

Restart Dock the make changes affect:

killall Dock

To restore Mission Control:

defaults delete com.apple.dock mcx-expose-disabled

Again restart the Dock to make changes affect.

      That’s the windows way, and look where it got them. Millions of grannies everywhere breaking stuff they don’t understand.

    What fool publishes a terminal command on their site without giving the option to copy it? Must be someone with a single digit IQ

    • Alex says:

      You’re a goddamn idiot. If you’re not even able to select & copy you have no business opening the terminal.

      What kind of ungrateful, selfish person rips into someone who is only trying to help others?
