I use Ubuntu with the Gnome3 shell. Right-clicking a window title provides a number of useful actions for managing the association between windows and workspaces. Up to Ubuntu 15.04, these actions included move to workspace N and only on this workspace. After the upgrade, these actions are no longer on the right-click menu. Is there anything I can do to restore them, either via GSettings or using an extension?

  • In Gnome3 shell on 15.04, right clicking window title bar gives me the option to Move to Workspace Down no selection for Workspace N.

  • Yes, that's exactly the problem. Prior to 15.04, it would give you that option, as well as move to workspace up/down. May 19, 2015 at 8:27
  • Do you have gnome-tweak-tool installed? If not, you may want to install this tool to assist in controlling appearance and behavior. From Terminal sudo apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool. It has a section for controlling workspaces. And, there are many extensions which can be added to improve the look and feel of Gnome-shell.

  • I've already looked in tweak-tool, and it doesn't have any options for this change. I do use Gnome shell extensions, and indeed I asked in the original question if there are extensions that fix this change. I've already looked at extensions.gnome.org, but nothing obvious leaps out.

  • Try enabling your workspaces as static and choose 4 as the number of workspaces.

A partial solution, suggested by RCF, is to set keyboard accelerators (shortcuts) from the settings dialog for move to workspace 1/2/3/4
