(People using impoverished systems like MSWindows that do not support multiple workspaces -- as far as I know -- have to waste time constantly moving things around on the screen.)
Windows 10 certainly does do multiple workspaces, [Windows]-[Tab] brings up the "WorkSpaceManager", etc.. That said, I certainly prefer CTWM on all my *NIX boxes - been using it since the mid-ninety's. > I tend to have twelve workspaces, depicted in a 4x3 workspace manager at bottom right. I can cycle rapidly through them using CTRL+Left keys or CTRL+Right. Fortunately ctwm (unlike some stupid window managers) cyles round at either end). ... I do the same - General, e-Mail, Web Browser (currently 23 tabs), Play (I'm retired now [Grin]), Project-of-the-Month, Other Work, etc. Wouldn't be without CTWM on my boxes - it works the way I do. -- ----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+ - Peter Conrad Cumminsky - [email protected] - My Web - http://petercon.freeshell.org/ - My Gopher - gopher://sdf.org/users/petercon - SDF Public Access UNIX System - sdf.org
