I know that I can change desktops by either clicking on their icon or rolling the mousewheel while holding Alt.

I'm wondering if there's a pure keyboard shortcut for switching between desktops.

  • Ctrl + Alt + Left switches to previous desktop
  • Ctrl + Alt + Right switches to next desktop

Reference: Lubuntu/Keyboard

In Lubuntu 16.04 LTS the following default shortcuts switch directly to a certain desktop:

  • Windows + F1 switches directly to desktop 1
  • Windows + F2 switches directly to desktop 2
  • and so on if you've added the number of desktops
2
  • 7
    One can also look at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml to see all the shortcuts available for keyboard and mouse.

  • To switch a window between the different desktops, right click it in the toolbar and select its "workspace" as they call it there.
