Ubuntu 14.04 workspace switch hotkeys
I upgraded my Ubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04 and hotkeys for switching workspaces (Ctrl + Alt + arrow keys) are not working anymore.
I checked in System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts to make sure that they're assigned and they are, but why they are not working? How can I fix this problem?
Solution 1:
I found the solution myself. It seems that I needed to enable Desktop Wall plugin in Compiz; just apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager, run ccsm and search for "wall" to find the option.
Solution 2:
This has broken for me a couple times now in Ubuntu; most recently after going from 12.04LTS to 14.04LTS (in place upgrade).
- System Settings... (gear at top of screen)
- Appearance
- Behavior Tab
- Check box for Enable workspaces
