Description Patrice BRUNELLE 2009-03-23 22:14:08 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

With Ctrl+F1, Ctrl+F2, Ctrl+F3 and Ctrl+F4, we can acces to desktops 1, 2, 3 and 4.
But if we add desktops, the shortcuts Ctrl+F5 to Ctrl+F12 don't work to acces to this others desktops (5 to 12).

This works correctly with Kde 3.5

and you can still configure to use these shortcuts. KDE's default is to use 4 desktops so it does not make sense to set more shortcuts by default. Especially as there are new options set to these shortcuts, e.g.:
 * Ctrl+F8: Desktop Grid
 * Ctrl+F9: Present Windows (current desktop)
 * Ctrl+F10: Present Windows (all desktops)
 * Ctrl+F11: Desktop Cube
 * Ctrl+F12: Plasma Dashboard

Could we possibly automatically extend the "Switch to Desktop" and "Window to Desktop" shortcuts from four down to at least seven when the user adds more virtual desktops? (I guess that we might only do this if the user hasn't changed the shortcuts for these actions from the default.)

I extend my apologies if commenting on closed bugs is considered bad form.

That makes the bug a feature request and I reopen.

No that is quite ok
