See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Date: 8 Mar 1997 00:00:01 CST Ping Huang <pshuang@sgi.com> contributes the following method: Unlike some other window managers, you can't navigate between desktops geographically, using some Control, Alt, and/or Shift'ed version of the arrow keys. However, you can tell 4Dwm to let you jump to a given desktop with a keystroke. If you want to customize one account only, copy /usr/lib/X11/system.4Dwmrc (or possibly /usr/lib/X11/$LANG/system.4Dwmrc, if you set the LANG environment variable for localization) to the user's home directory as .4Dwmrc. Look for the "Keys 4DwmKeyBindings" section, and add lines of the following form: # IndigoMagic desktops <Key>F1 root|icon|window f.switch_desk "Desk 1" <Key>F2 root|icon|window f.switch_desk "Desk 2" <Key>F3 root|icon|window f.switch_desk "Desk 3" <Key>F10 root|icon|window f.switch_desk "Global" The names of the desks are whatever arbitrary names you used to name your desks in Desk Overview. (The "Global" desk is, however, a special desk; see Desk Overview help for details. You still reference its name here as you would any other desk.)
