There is a program named TotalSpace, that has the feature you need. Once installed, you should open it up, go into "Transitions" and disable "Use transitions", this will remove the animation you get when you switch Workspace (aka Dekstop)
If you're on OS X 10.11.x El Capitan or later, you will also need to disable a feature known as "System Integrity Protection" which prevents you to edit or access system files. To disable it:
- Restart the Mac, then boot it in recovery mode, by holding down
cmd(or Windows key) andRkeys, before hearing the sound of your Mac startup. Hold them down for 5 secs. - Click on "Utilities" on the top of your screen, then select terminal.
- On the new opened window, enter
csrutil enable --without debug. - Reboot
- Enjoy :)
csrutil enable --without debug is the better solution suggested by [http://totalspaces.binaryage.com/elcapitan][totalspace].

1Note: TotalSpaces2 versions 2.3.5 and above have support for El Cap but cannot run on a normally configured machine due to system integrity protection. See: http://totalspaces.binaryage.com/elcapitan – kkurian Sep 07 '16 at 03:56

I wish I could downvote this, why would you advise people to disable System Integrity Protection? – David 天宇 Wong Jun 17 '17 at 10:29
