Yes. I'm aware of that also. Still wanting a command-line tool.
"<shift><ctrl><alt><LftArr>" is 4 keystrokes.
"gnome-switching-tool --switch-to-left-workspace\n" is 49 keystrokes.
Me, I'll stick with the keyboard shortcuts.
But a shortcut cannot be built into a shell script or C program.
Ok, I'll bite: why do you want to script the ability to switch
workspaces?
libmetacity-dev probably has the API to do what you want, if you
know C.
Ok, here's what I want. I have wired up keyboard shortcuts (in Gnome)
to switch to the right and left workspaces using 3ddesk
(http://desk3d.sourceforge.net/). However, 3ddesk just about freezes up
my machine if I attempt to switch screens using it when I'm running a
dual-head setup (basically, anytime I'm docked).
So I've written a wrapper script around the 3ddesk command that queries
the xorg.conf file I'm currently using to see if I'm in dual-head mode
or not. If I'm not in a dual-head situation, it will call 3ddesk
appropriately and I get the fun little animation while switching
workspaces. I'd like it to be able to switch workspaces without calling
3ddesk when I'm in dual head mode.
I do know C, so I guess I could work on creating such a tool myself.
But I have no experience whatsoever with Gnome's interfaces, etc.
I've also taken the other route as well -- posted a feature request for
the 3ddesk tool to be able to switch without animations.
Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
