shortcuts for switching between workspaces

I found that if I have more than 12 workspaces I can make shortcuts for direct moving only for first 12 workspaces. Is it possible to make shortcuts for all workspaces that I have?

Re: shortcuts for switching between workspaces

Hello and welcome.

Unfortunately, the 12 is hard-coded into the window manager. However, you can use wmctrl via:

wmctrl -s <DESKTOP>

...where <DESKTOP> is the number of the workspace (starting at 0) that you want to move to.

Or, if you're looking to move the active window to another workspace, use:

wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -t <DESKTOP>

...again where <DESKTOP> is the number of the workspace (starting at 0).

Assign this command to any shortcut you want.
