Having just switched from Ubuntu 10.10 to Elementary on my desktop machine (which I haven't used in over a year), I've noticed a real irritation when trying to switch workspaces while one hand is on the mouse--the user has to take a hand off the mouse, put both hands on the keyboard (many keyboards don't have a super key near the arrow keys), activate the workspace switching motion, and then return their hand to their mouse to continue working. This isn't as big a problem on a laptop as most laptops have semi-decent trackpads right below the keyboard; however, on a typical desktop, this is a real irritation.
Under older versions of Ubuntu (the ones that used the compiz cube by default) I liked being able to hold ctrl+alt and then click/drag to change workspaces; however, that still requires moving one hand to the keyboard which still feels tedious if your hand isn't there already. I propose coming up with a solution. It may not seem like a big deal, but if you're like me (having one application open per workspace) this can be a real annoyance. Thoughts?
