This works for me for in a compiled Compiz 0.9.12.2 using KDE and Debian 8 at least for me. (Don't remember when it first was fixed, but I think it's been fixed for a while)
This is definitely more a bug than a feature request. Compiz has had bindings that use screen edges for a long time, as well as prev/next Viewport. `ccsm` program -> Desktop section -> Desktop Wall plug-in -> Bindings tab -> ... @Fabio (fcole90) Was your comment/change meant for a different bug?, or does the Ubuntu version of Compiz still have this problem, etc...? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/754948 Title: Desktop Wall & Viewport Switcher: Bindings for "Next" and "Prev" workspaces dont work. Bindings that use screen edges don't work. Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: Binary package hint: compiz In the "Desktop Wall" compiz plugin in the "Bindings" tab there is a section "Move within wall". I have a 2 x 2 desktop. I want to be able to chuck my mouse on the edge of the screen (top/left/bottom/right) and use the mouse wheel to scroll up/down to go prev/next workspace. This has worked fine for me since 10.04 or earlier. There are two problems: 1) I cannot get "Move Next" and "Move Prev" to work at all. Key bindings, mouse bindings, screen edges with mouse buttons or key combinations and mouse buttons just doesn't work. "Move Up/Down/Left/Right" all work fine - but it appears compiz doesn't know which is 'next' and 'previous' for workspaces. 2) I can't get screen edges to work with the binds for "Move Up/Down/Left/Right". If I bind "Move Up" to <Super>Button 4 then hold Super and scroll up, it will move upwards within my workspaces. If I bind "Move Up" to <TopEdge><Super>Button 4 then I am unable to trigger it. This is true for any edge, any mouse button, and Move<AnyDirection>. I can't seem to get the "Viewport Switcher" plugin to do much of anything really. The keybindings for "Go to specific viewport" all work - but the "Number-Based Viewport Switching" doesnt do anything, and "Desktop-based Viewport Switching" doesn't seem to do anything either.
