[Bug 1363534] Re: Wrong keyboard shortcuts for Workspaces in Dash overlay

 

** Description changed:

- When you hold the Super key and the overlay with the keyboard shortcut
- opens:
+ [Impact]
  
- Under "Workspaces" it says:
+ The Shortcuts displays the wrong key sequence for switching workspaces.
  
- Ctrl + Alt + Left + Arrow Keys: Switches Workspaces
- Shift + Ctrl + Alt + Left + Arrow Keys: Moves focused window to another workspace
+ [Test Case]
  
+ (1) Enable workspaces (System Settings > Appearance > Behavior > Enable Workspaces).
+ (2) Hold down the Super key until the Shortcuts window appears.
+ (3) Under Workspaces it should display "Shift + Ctrl + Alt + Arrow Keys" and not "Shift + Ctrl + Alt + Left + Arrow Keys".
  
- The shortcuts are wrong, the "+ Left" makes no sense. Is this supposed to be "Left Alt"? But on the other hand all other shortcuts do not say "Left Alt" but just "Alt", so that's probably not it.
+ [Regression Potential]
  
- Anyway, the correct shortcuts are:
+ Unlikely.
  
- Ctrl + Alt + Arrow Keys: Switches Workspaces
- Shift + Ctrl + Alt + Arrow Keys: Moves focused window to another workspace
+ [Other Info]
  
- This is also what it says on the official help:
