I have a typical Gnome setup, in which i can move/switch between workspaces, by hitting ctrl+alt+‹or›arrow. But when i'm in workspace 1, hitting ctrl+alt+‹ has no effect, and similarly for my maximum workspace (typically 4).

Is there any way I can have this cycle around, so that hitting ctrl+alt+› in workspace 4 will bring me back around to 1?

  • It depends on the windows manager you're using. Ubuntu -> compiz, Gnome2 -> Metacity, Gnome3 -> Gnome Shell (Mutter).

  • You can use workspace switch wraparound to do this task.
