Gnome Workspaces
I just realized how useful the Gnome workspaces can be. Is there a keyboard shortcut to switch between workspaces?

Don't know about keyboard shortcuts, but if you park the mouse over the changer on the panel, and roll the mouse wheel, you can rocket through the selections!

It's ok. I got it. You have to press Ctrl+ALT+Right Arrow or Ctrl+Alt+Left Arrow.
Sometimes whatever app Im running is on full screen and can't access the gnome workspaces with my mouse. That's why I was wondering if there were keyboard shortcuts.
Thanks anyways.

It happens all the time. If sombody beats you to the punch in replying, it is helpful if you go back and edit your post for clarification. Do Not remove whatever you posted. It can really make things confusing.

Edit: Beat me to it again (an example)

Set "autohide" and "always on top" paramaters for the panel you are using to display your work spaces. Then all you have to do is mouse-bump the panel edge to bring it back on-screen. But Lazlow has you fixed right up! Enjoy!

You can also do shift+alt+ctrl to move currently active window to another virtual desktop. Quick and handy way to move stuff out of the way. Forgot: +arrow left/ right

Hey, Pete.
That's really cool. Now I got two ways to play with the workspaces. Geesh, ever since I discovered the usefulness of the gnome workspaces, I been able to get things done faster. Don't have to wait for an application to load anymore.
Thanks

They ain't exactly Gnome specific, and you can alter the number of them at will, WindowMaker can even create new ones on the fly if you want it to by just scrolling your mousewheel  You also have 6 virtual terminals (by default), ctrl+alr+f1-f6, ctrl+alt+f7 returns to x-windows.
