  • The answer is probably good, however you should improve it by adding a bit more details. Especially a screenshot would be a good idea. Moreover, I suggest you use Italic, not UPPERCASE, to write menu entries. May 13, 2016 at 17:24
  • Helped me on Debian Mate (with right click on workspaces grid instead left click). I have no idea why I didn't noticed beforehand, that workspaces switch is an applet and can be configured that way...
