Feature request - uncouple SwitchDesktop shortcuts
Opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
first thanks for the helpful tool.
A change I would like to see is to be able to use different shortcuts for Desktopn (n=1...) and PreviousDesktop/NextDesktop.
The Modifier for SwitchDesktop is applied to all.
To make my point clearer:
I'm trying to switch to a numbered desktop with Ctrl+Fn (n=1..4) but would like to use Ctrl+Alt+RightArrow to go the next desktop.
I tried to use SwitchDesktop=Ctrl and NextDesktop=LAlt, Right but that did not work.
It would be nice to have to option to specifically overwrite a shortcut.
@cpgw could not the standard Windows Virtual Desktop hotkey work? Ctrl+Win+Left/Right?
@ericnewton76 thanks for the suggestion, that might be a better solution than my current configuration, but in the end I would like to have the shortcuts as described. Yes, there might be more troubling things in the world but I grew accustomed to my shortcuts...
In fact there is even a better workaround when using ahk in parallel intercepting the windows hotkeys:
!^Right::send, #^{Right down}{Right up} and !^Left::send, #^{Left down}{Left up}
+1
Comming from linux / gnome2 and ctrl + alt + arrow is second nature and muscle memory. Would very much like this as well. Thanks for this helpful tool.
This also causes a problem when using SwitchDesktop=Win, since then Win+Left/Right no longer snaps windows to edges of the screen like it normally does. I'd like Ctrl+Win+Left/Right to still switch to previous/next desktop, Win+(n) to switch to desktop n, and Win+Left/Right to snap windows to edges. By decoupling these switch prev/next and switch numerical, I would be able to achieve that.
