Re: Mouse-based Workspace Switching

 

I don't know... Anyway, it's not perfect, because there's a problem with
key autorepeat :( If you press Super, then Z, it goes left; if you then
release Z, but keep Super, it stops (as expected), but if you now press
again Z, it doesn't do left again; you must keep both keys pressed, or
release both and press them again.
