[Feature] Change keyboard shortcut to move between workspaces

[GuillaumeLeGoc]

GNOME keyboard shortcuts allows only to edit the shortcut to switch workspace in the vertical direction (one workspace below, one workspace top) and it works fine with WSMatrix, but I can't change the default shortcut to move one workspace right/left (which is ctrl+alt+left/right arrow). I'd like to be able to change this to something else.

You can do this with gsettings. Run gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings to get a list of relevant keys that can be configured, e.g. switch-to-workspace-left. Get the current value with: gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left. Set the value with gsettings set.

Great, this worked. I used the dconf editor though. Maybe you could mention the location org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings in the README.
Thank you for your time!

Edit : sorry for the close/open thing, I'm beginning with GitHub issues. I'll leave it up to you to open it or close it. Cheers

[mzur]

I'll close this then. I'll consider adding a note to the readme if more people ask about it.

This would be an excellent addition to the README, I think! I was surprised to find that this is the first issue asking about changing keybindings in this repo.

I second this, it took me longer than needed to find out that this can be changed.

The settings were not available in my schemas by default (ubuntu 18.04). The following fixed it:

$ sudo cp ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/wsmatrix@martin.zurowietz.de/schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.wsmatrix.gschema.xml  /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/
$ sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/

Definitely could use a note about this in Readme with an example.

[mzur]

@Anamitr There is.

There is now a new wiki page on keyboard shortcuts.

in case someone looks for it: to make it work like in windows (ctrl+win+arrows)

gsettings set  org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-right "['<Control><Super>Right']" 
gsettings set  org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-left  "['<Control><Super>Left']"

and

gsettings set  org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-up  "['<Control><Super>Up']"
gsettings set  org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-down  "['<Control><Super>Down']"
