Howdy,

I am trying to configure lxqt to have shortcuts for previous and next desktops. Right now I have the default ctrl+f<> to change to a given desktop, but I want ctrl+arrows to work for my desired behavior. Any hints?

Solved it and I think it may be applied in other cases.

I emerged xdotool and edited the shortcuts using lxqt-config-globalkeyshortcuts adding the following commands (respectively to cycle left and right):

Code:

xdotool set_desktop --relative -- -1

xdotool set_desktop --relative 1


The " --" in the first line is required in order that " -1" is interpreted as a negative number and not another parameter.
