As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS I have tested this on 15.10
and the bug is still there.  I think this is a feature request rather
than a bug.

Title:
  Desktop Wall & Viewport Switcher: Bindings for "Next" and "Prev"
  workspaces dont work. Bindings that use screen edges don't work.

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: compiz

  In the "Desktop Wall" compiz plugin in the "Bindings" tab there is a section "Move within wall".
  I have a 2 x 2 desktop. I want to be able to chuck my mouse on the edge of the screen (top/left/bottom/right) and use the mouse wheel to scroll up/down to go prev/next workspace. This has worked fine for me since 10.04 or earlier. There are two problems:

  1) I cannot get "Move Next" and "Move Prev" to work at all. Key
  bindings, mouse bindings, screen edges with mouse buttons or key
  combinations and mouse buttons just doesn't work. "Move
  Up/Down/Left/Right" all work fine - but it appears compiz doesn't know
  which is 'next' and 'previous' for workspaces.

  2) I can't get screen edges to work with the binds for "Move
  Up/Down/Left/Right". If I bind "Move Up" to <Super>Button 4
  then hold Super and scroll up, it will move upwards within my
  workspaces. If I bind "Move Up" to <TopEdge><Super>Button 4     then I
  am unable to trigger it. This is true for any edge, any mouse button,
  and Move<AnyDirection>.

  I can't seem to get the "Viewport Switcher" plugin to do much of
  anything really. The keybindings for "Go to specific viewport" all
  work - but the "Number-Based Viewport Switching" doesnt do anything,
  and "Desktop-based Viewport Switching" doesn't seem to do anything
  either.
