Re: Mouse-based Workspace Switching

 

While being able to switch workspaces with one hand, I think WASD is
non-obvious, especially when all four are commonly used as window
management shortcuts in other OSes (the first three in Ubuntu and the last
one in Windows; I think Super+S is also used in Windows for system
something or the other). I think a launcher makes sense, as do hot corners.
