How to switch workspaces in Fluxbox via keyboard shortcuts?
 
Hi,

I can't figure out how to switch between workspaces using a keyboard shortcut in Fluxbox or even applications in the same workspace?

Also I would appreciate it if someone tell me how I can add more workspaces to my panel. I assume the default is 4.

Thank you

Alt+F1-4 will switch workspaces.

Alt+Tab *should* cycle through open application windows.

Just a note, I regularly use the mouse wheel to cycle through workspaces. It's the bomb. :)

to add a workspace, open fluxbox menu, then fluxbox-menu -> Workspace list -> New workspace

Thank you for your prompt response. I realized that I can add more shortcuts to ~/.fluxblox/keys and Alt+F1... works great but I don't know why Alt+Tab doesn't work! Your wheel hint works too.

What is Mod1 in keys file anyway? An Alt key?

Mod1 must be the Alt key
here is my ~/.fluxbox/keys:
Code:
Mod1 Tab :NextWindow
Mod1 Shift Tab :PrevWindow
Mod1 F1 :Workspace1
Mod1 F2 :Workspace2
Mod1 F3 :Workspace3
Mod1 F4 :Workspace4
Mod1 F5 :Workspace5
Mod1 F6 :Workspace6
Mod1 F7 :Workspace7
Mod1 F8 :Workspace8
Mod1 F9 :Workspace9
Mod1 F10 :Workspace10
Mod1 F11 :Workspace11
Mod1 F12 :Workspace12
