thanks a lot for your link, did not know about this amazing tool, for those who still need a cure, I made instruction:

Few steps need to be done:

disable SIP:

  • Load your in recovery mode hold power (top right corner laptop button) until message options received chose “Options”
  • Open terminal - utils > terminal and write csrutil disable and check if it is disabled csrutil status and restart computer

Install custom fork of yabai utility made by this person Apple Silicon M1 · Issue #725 · koekeishiya/yabai · GitHub by command: brew install --HEAD xorpse/formulae/yabai

Most likely if you read this few months after yabai have already official support of m1 so you might not need to use fork and generate self signed certificate.

Generate certificate by this instruction Installing yabai (from HEAD) · koekeishiya/yabai Wiki · GitHub
Run sudo nvram boot-args=-arm64e_preview_abi at the terminal and restart computer. Run yabai service by cmd brew services start yabai.

Install and run skhd utility to bind hotkey with shell commands (follow GitHub - koekeishiya/skhd: Simple hotkey daemon for macOS). Create ~/.skhdrc to bind workspace focus commands, for me it is:

alt - 1 : yabai -m space --focus 1
alt - 2 : yabai -m space --focus 2
alt - 3 : yabai -m space --focus 3
alt - 4 : yabai -m space --focus 4
alt - 5 : yabai -m space --focus 5
alt - 6 : yabai -m space --focus 6

# toggle window zoom 
alt - 0 : yabai -m query --spaces --window | grep '"type":"float"' && yabai -m space --layout bsp;\
          yabai -m query --windows --window | grep '"floating":1' && yabai -m window --toggle float;\
          yabai -m window --toggle zoom-fullscreen;

# change active windows on the current workspace
alt - i : yabai -m window --focus prev
alt - o : yabai -m window --focus next

Enjoy instant workspace transition
