changing workspace when going to the corner of monitor using the mouse

Post by danilobatistaqueiroz »

Is there a feature to switch workspaces like changing desktop when using two monitors? (in this case I want using one monitor)
When I have two monitors, I can move my mouse to a corner of monitor to switch to another monitor.
Is there any functionality to switch to another workspace when moving the mouse to a corner of monitor, when using only one monitor?

I'm not sure if "one monitor" makes any difference. I also not a Cinnamon user, but do have a virtual one.

Did you try System Settings > Hot Corners

I just did this.

The corner seems to be a pretty small area. probably easier to hit on bare metal (full screen).

There is also the panel applet "workspace switcher", but it does take up a lot of real estate on the panel, not ideal.

And what about the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Alt + left/right (my favorite way)

Yeah, it does take up space on the panel, but having multiplle workspaces frees up enough panel space that it's not a ptoblem for me.
