GNOME Workspace Switcher

While searching for the Workspace Switcher shortcut keys, I discovered that you can switch workspaces by moving the mouse over the Workspace Switcher applet (in the bottom panel) and then scrolling the mouse wheel.

The following Workspace Switcher shortcut keys don't work when running Debian inside of VirtualBox:

• Press Ctrl+Alt+right arrow to switch to the workspace on the right of the current workspace.


• Press Ctrl+Alt+left arrow to switch to the workspace on the left of the current workspace.

I did find a workaround. Open Workspace Switcher preferences in the bottom right panel. Update Show all workspaces in: from 1 to 4 rows. The following Workspace Switcher shortcut keys now work:

• Press Ctrl+Alt+up arrow to switch to the workspace on top of the current workspace.


• Press Ctrl+Alt+down arrow to switch to the workspace on the bottom of the current workspace.
