Title:
  Keyboard shortcuts to switch workspaces borked

Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The keyboard shortcuts to change workspaces have been ctrl-alt-arrow
  for a long time now. As of 13.10, the shortcuts for up/down have been
  changed to Super-pgup/pgdn. This change makes it exceptionally
  cumbersome to quickly switch between different workspaces to the
  extent that it is essentially broken and one is limited to either
  vertical or horizontal workspaces.

  Whereas one could previously cycle through all 4 workspaces in the
  default 2x2 grid, this is now practically impossible without a level
  of finger dexterity I doubt anyone short of a concert pianist
  possesses.

  I realize that one could argue that this is not a bug, but rather an
  "opinion". That would be naive, however, as using all four workspaces
  with just keyboard shortcuts is not effectively broken.

  The fix is easy. Either revert to ctr-alt-arrow or switch to super-
  arrow (in all four directions).

  The currently 13.10 mix-and-match approach, however, is a usability
  nightmare.
