> However, why does this behavior not extend to the keyboard shortcut keys for switching workspaces?
The standard keyboard shortcuts are <Ctrl+Alt+ → > or <Ctrl+Alt+ ← >. But they do not loop (or "wrap around"). I have just booted my old system with GNOME 2.32 and I see that it simply does not have such option. And old MATE 1.8.1 do not wrap with keyboard shortcuts. So we can end this discussion by filing the feature request - https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/969 . ** Bug watch added: github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues #969 https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-panel/issues/969 ** Changed in: ubuntu-mate Status: New => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - mate-panel workspace switcher applet has broken functionality + mate-panel workspace switcher does not loop with repeatedly pressed keyboard shortcuts on workspace switcher applet ** Also affects: mate-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags added: bionic cosmic disco eoan xenial ** Description changed: Right clicking preferences and toggling the checkbox next to "Allow - workspace wrap around in switcher" does nothing. + workspace wrap around in switcher" enables looped workspace switching + only with mouse wheel, but not with keyboard (<Ctrl+Alt+→> or + <Ctrl+Alt+←> repeatedly). - Issue is confirmed to be present in Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and Ubuntu MATE - 19.04. mate-desktop team reports there's no problem with their code, - suspect out of date packages included in release. + ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Original description from reporter is below: + + + Issue is confirmed to be present in Ubuntu MATE 18.04 and Ubuntu MATE 19.04. mate-desktop team reports there's no problem with their code, suspect out of date packages included in release.
