I have four virtual desktops mapped to WinKey+{a,s,z,x}. I've used this scheme for so long that the keys are hardwired in my brain and I can switch desktops without even thinking about it. In particular, I don't care if the window manager organizes the desktops in a matrix or linearly, since I don't need a visual representation.
As an aside, my biggest gripe with Ubuntu is that they hard code the Win key to something else, which breaks my desktop switching habits.
- VeejayRampay 13y agoThat's actually pretty cool. I'll use some variation of that using hjkl :)
- kazoolist 13y ago+1 for Virtual Desktops and key mappings for each. I do 3x3, mapped to <ctr>+<alt>+[1-9] on the keypad.
- baddox 13y agoFair enough. It sounds like you use a more specific named mental model, rather than a visual one. When I used a 2x2 virtual desktop grid (I don't use virtual desktops at all anymore), I has loosely defined roles for each desktop, but it was fairly dynamic. I used the visual model, as in "Where did I throw that terminal window? I think it's right below me."
