How to make dynamic hotkeys for desktops on macos?

Hi guys.
I recently switched to MacOS from Linux and tile managers. I'm already used to everything, I installed Amethyst for tiling, but one thing in window management just kills me - there is no way to quickly switch to the desired desktop.
Yes, in the settings there is a binding of a specific desktop to a hotkey, but:

  • it is static. That is, if you delete or add a new desktop, then you need to go into the settings and turn on the hotkey
  • this doesn't work with fullscreen application tables (actually, the main use case)

I'm trying to transfer my experience with tile managers to MacOS, where I had, say, 5 active desktops, where they were scattered: browser, editor, consoles, git, well, and some other player. Accordingly, hotkeys a la "Win + 1 ... 5", which instantly moved me to the desired table (application).
Here, there is no such garbage, you have to swipe back and forth, watch these beautiful animations that take a lot of time, but I would like to switch between windows as efficiently as possible, since I have to do this quite often.
In general, ideally, I would like it to be something like this:

And it would work dynamically, that is, when adding, say, a desktop with Photoshop at the end, it would be assigned the CMD + 4 hotkey.
Maybe there is such functionality in some application? Or is there another way to solve the problem? How do you do it? And, maybe someone knows, is it possible to programmatically get desktops and switch between them? The feature is simple, and if the API supported it, it would be possible to file it down.
