Hi, I use multiple desktops in KDE (Suse 10.1). Is there a way to
switch between desktop windows using the keyboard? I seem to remember
doing that but can't find anything about it in the docs....

Thanks a lot in advance...

Try CTRL+TAB.

Use the <Ctrl> key plus the F-keys. <Ctrl>+<F2> will take you to desktop
no. 2.

You can define any keys you like to do that. I use the numbers on
the keypad.

Chirs, thanks! Can you help point me to info on how to do this?

I found info about the ctrl-f1 etc method but have to shft my whole arm
and look down to hit the funtion keys, throwing off my hand positions.
It's incredible awkward. I want to set my own keys.

Thanks a lot....

I only tried KDE for a day or two, a couple of years ago, so I
don't remember. I do remember that it only took a few moments of
going through the menus to find it (keyboard shortcuts, perhaps?).

Start the "Control Center" and go to "Regional & Accessibility" |
"Keyboard Shortcuts" and enter the "Shortcut Sequences" pane and set
some custom keys for desktop switching.
