macOS 27 compatibility issue: "Use fast animations" and "Use instant switching" no longer work #44

Description

Description

After updating to macOS 27, the following two options in Spaceman no longer work:

  • Use fast animations
  • Use instant switching

Before upgrading to macOS 27, both options worked correctly and allowed faster Space switching. After the update, enabling either option does not change the switching behavior. Space transitions still use the default macOS animation.

Environment

  • macOS version: macOS 27
  • Spaceman version: v1.12+ (please adjust if needed)
  • Hardware: Apple Silicon Mac (please add exact model if needed)

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open Spaceman settings.
  2. Enable:
    • "Use fast animations"
    • or "Use instant switching"
  3. Switch between Spaces using keyboard shortcuts or Spaceman navigation.
  4. Observe that the switching animation remains unchanged.

Expected behavior

When "Use fast animations" or "Use instant switching" is enabled, switching between Spaces should become faster or happen instantly, as it did on previous macOS versions.

Actual behavior

The options appear to have no effect on macOS 27. Space switching keeps the default macOS animation.

Additional information

It looks like macOS 27 may have changed the underlying behavior/API used by Spaceman for accelerating Space transitions.

Could you please check whether these features need updates for macOS 27 compatibility?

Thank you for maintaining this useful tool!
