javaguy Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Can I ask another stupid question? In a previous incarnation of KDE I could ctl-tab to switch between virtual desktops. I can't seem to do that any more and can't for the life of me figure out how to set up a hotkey to do it. Where did this go, and how do I get it back?

paul Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 at a guess. ctrl-alt left(and right) arrow I think (not a kde user :) ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonseth17 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 at a guess.ctrl-alt left(and right) arrow I think (not a kde user :) ) that works if you're using compiz...cuz I've tried that using KDE4, Gnome, LXDE, Xfce (I mean Ctrl-alt-left/right)...and none works with that hotkey unless you have compiz XD...that's in my case I don't know if anyone tried that before without compiz.. if you install compiz do it ...

ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I don't have compiz and CTRL-ALT-(LEFT or RIGHT) arrow works perfectly fine. It has been standard for like ages at least in Gnome anyway and not reliant on compiz or any other 3D desktop effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 CTRL+F whatever screen you want to access. In kde anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scarecrow Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Just a stupid question: Why do you use compiz (fusion) with KDE4? The embedded KDE4 window manager effects with composite enabled may not be as impressive as the ones from Compiz, but that are quite good, and they consume very little resources. I only use compiz-fusion under XFCE4 and LXDE, where the WM effects are very spartan/nonexistent, respectively. Under KDE4, I do not use compiz at all.

javaguy Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Ctl-tab does nothing for me. I'm curious--did you guys do anything special when you installed? All I did was boot the One disc, click the Install icon on the desktop and install it to a blank partition. It runs beautifully--there are all kinds of things I like about it. I just miss my hotkey to switch desktops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSurfer60 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Well I installed from the full dvd version. Don't know if that would make a difference. :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 I use Gnome, so unless it's KDE, no I didn't do anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B) I think whether I have compiz + KDE4 skins my pc looks pretty cool ;), but right now I'm using more Gnome than KDE4...but compiz makes it better B) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
