Title:
Keyboard shortcuts to switch workspaces borked
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The keyboard shortcuts to change workspaces have been ctrl-alt-arrow
for a long time now. As of 13.10, the shortcuts for up/down have been
changed to Super-pgup/pgdn. This change makes it exceptionally
cumbersome to quickly switch between different workspaces to the
extent that it is essentially broken and one is limited to either
vertical or horizontal workspaces.
Whereas one could previously cycle through all 4 workspaces in the
default 2x2 grid, this is now practically impossible without a level
of finger dexterity I doubt anyone short of a concert pianist
possesses.
I realize that one could argue that this is not a bug, but rather an
"opinion". That would be naive, however, as using all four workspaces
with just keyboard shortcuts is not effectively broken.
The fix is easy. Either revert to ctr-alt-arrow or switch to super-
arrow (in all four directions).
The currently 13.10 mix-and-match approach, however, is a usability
nightmare.
