> Having just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Elementary on my desktop machine
> (which I haven't used in over a year), I've noticed a real irritation when
> trying to switch workspaces while one hand is on the mouse--the user has to
> take a hand off the mouse, put both hands on the keyboard (many keyboards
> don't have a super key near the arrow keys), activate the workspace
> switching motion, and then return their hand to their mouse to continue
> working. This isn't as big a problem on a laptop as most laptops have
> semi-decent trackpads right below the keyboard; however, on a typical
> desktop, this is a real irritation.
>
> Under older versions of Ubuntu (the ones that used the compiz cube by
> default) I liked being able to hold ctrl+alt and then click/drag to change
> workspaces; however, that still requires moving one hand to the keyboard
> which still feels tedious if your hand isn't there already. I propose
> coming up with a solution. It may not seem like a big deal, but if you're
> like me (having one application open per workspace) this can be a real
> annoyance.

> Thoughts?
