Are you looking to switch desktop in Ubuntu?

Have you been converted to Ubuntu recently only to find you can not switch desktop, one of the most useful features!

It has always surprised me that so many people are drawn to Ubuntu, only after they have seen a friend do some fancy desktop switching. It does look nice, yes, but it is also a very useful functionality for various tasks which would ideally require more than one monitor, but where that is not an option.


New users arrive, and then find that they can not work out how to switch desktop!

Fortunately the key combination by standard is easy - just press


Ctrl + Alt + left arrow


or


Ctrl + Alt + right arrow



I hope this was helpful to some new ubuntu user - keep using it, it is a great operating system
