[Bug 774290] Re: Can't switch to top-left workspace using keyboard

 

This particular phenomenon depends on your keyboard hardware.  Some less
expensive keyboard use a reduced number of physical scan lines, and
common place where this has an effect is when the up-arrow and left-
arrow keys share a common line, meaning the keyboard itself can not
distinguish between they keys.

There is, unfortunately, nothing Compiz can do to accommodate this
hardware fault since it occurs long before Compiz receives the input
even data.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  I can switch from top right to left bottom workspace, by pressing
  CTRL+ALT+DOWN+RIGHT. I can do the same to the right bottom, left
  bottom and right top, but no to the left top. When I am in the right
  bottom workspace, and I press CTRL+ALT+UP+LEFT, nothing happens (or it
  goes left or top sometimes).
