Q:
I get tired of using the mouse to switch desktops, so is there a quick keyboard shortcut to switch desktops?

A:
Yes. In Gnome use ALT-CTRL-LEFT and ALT-CTRL-RIGHT to switch between desktops.

I'm pretty sure the same thing works in KDE.

  • WRONG! KDE 3.4 and 9.3 CTRL + F1 -- First Desktop CTRL + F2 -- Second Desktop CTRL + F3 -- Third Desktop CTRL + F4 -- Fourth Desktop Etc.
  • KDE Next Desktop CTRL+TAB, Previous Desktop CTRL+SHIFT+TAB
