In the upper left corner of your Mac screen, click menu -> System Preferences -> Mission Control. In the Keyboard shortcuts and mouse section, you just need to select the shortcut you want.

Adding a new desktop
Dividing your Mac workspace into several different surfaces is very practical. For example, you can have a web browser with specific pages running on one desktop, you can use another desktop to work in other websites, and you can have specific applications open on other desktops. If you want to add a new empty desktop, activate Mission Control first. You will see a bar with previews of currently available surfaces, to which you can add a new surface simply by clicking the "+" button on the right side of this bar.

Split View in Mission Control
Split View is a useful feature that allows you to work on your Mac in two windows of selected applications side by side. You can arrange applications in Split View mode directly in Mission Control. Launch Mission Control to preview available desktops at the top of your Mac's screen, and launch the apps you want in turn. Long press the preview of one of the apps you want to display in Split View and drag it to the selected desktop. Then long-click on the preview of the second application and drag it to the same desktop - you release the icon at the moment when the preview of the first application moves to the side.
