Hi :) Ahh, i didn't need to create new workspaces. I just liked that i seemed to be able to navigate to existing ones using an easy key combination. Something like; Ctrl/Apple-key/Alt and keyboard arrows
I hadn't previously realised Apple even had the workspaces idea built-in. About a decade ago i wouldn't have recognised it nor realised how useful it is. Now that i have used non-Windows OSes i did recognise it. Hmmm, that just led me to trying similar combinations on Ubuntu and i just found that pressing the 'Windows' key and holding it down brought up an overlay/pop-up that shows "Keyboard Shortcuts". Is that just in Unity? So i have just learned i can switch workspaces by pressing; Ctrl Alt arrow-keys and that deals with 1 of the problems i've had with Unity. 'Obviously' in Unity if you just tap the 'Windows' key it brings up the "Dash Home" which shows thumbnails of recently used apps and recently used files (potentially embarrassing if you have been working on confidential files or some such). To get the elegant looking pop-up/overlay i held down the button for a while. I wonder 1. Why Ubuntu keyboards still use the MS logo on their 'Windows' key 2. If the police (or some such) will burst into my home and arrest me for scratching that logo out and painting a penguin on.
