Are there any keyboard shortcuts for Windows 10 developer preview's virtual desktops ("Task View")?
I just installed Windows 10 developer preview but can't figure out how to cycle through the new virtual desktops with the keyboard.
I'm looking for the following shortcuts if they exist:
- Switch to the next/previous desktop
- Go to desktop number N
- Close the current desktop
- Open a new desktop
Are these controls implemented yet?
- Switch to the next/previous desktop:
Win+Tab.
The Windows-Tab shortcut lets you switch between multiple virtual desktops with different arrangements of applications

You can switch between your open virtual desktops using Ctrl+Windows+Left or Right arrow keys.

You can switch between your open virtual desktops using Ctrl+Windows+Left or Right arrow keys.
Snapping window: WIN + LEFT or RIGHT (can be used with UP or DOWN to get into quadrants)
Switch to recent window: ALT + TAB (unchanged) – Hold shows new Task view window view, let go and switches to app.
Task view: WIN + TAB – New Task view opens up and stays open.
Create new virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + D
Close current virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + F4
Switch virtual desktop: WIN + CTRL + LEFT or RIGHT

You can also use the keyboard combination: "CTRL + WIN + ARROW-KEY LEFT/RIGHT" in order to switch between your virtual desktops.
Edit: Just saw that someone else answered with the above. My bad for "double post".
