I use both OS X and Ubuntu(11.10). In OS X, Ctrl+Arrow is the shortcut for changing space. When I use Ubuntu, I habitually press Ctrl+Arrow to change space. Actually I should use Alt+Ctrl+Arrow. Can I change the shortcut key?

Thanks.

Sam.

  1. Open the Keyboard utility.

  2. In the Shortcuts tab, select Navigation and scroll to the bottom. Double click on a row and press your new shortcut keys.

In ubuntu 24.04 you can do it also via terminal using dconf command.

For example to set Alt+5 to switch workspace number 5:

dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-5 "['<Alt>5']"

To check the current value, you can use dconf read, for example:

dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-5

In Ubuntu 24.04, you can go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts and then click on "View and Customize Shortcuts". You can find it under "Navigation" or simply search for it. Once you locate, you can check the default keybindings or change it
