Workspace Switching with gnome in ubuntu 17.10

  • 772

I used the cube rotation effect in unity and liked it a lot. Is there a way to get a workspace switcher button in gnome?

Even without that I'd like to know how to get cube rotation back in gnome. CTRL+alt leftorright doesn't switch workspaces and I think compiz might be doing more cause CTRL +alt upordown doesn't switch workspaces either and I think its supposed to in gnome.

I have 2 vertical and 4 horizontal in the compiz settings. and 4 using gnome-tweak-tool for workspaces. What should I do to straighten this out?

  1. For workspace switcher, you have Workspace Indicator extension https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/21/workspace-indicator/.

    For the cube animation, sorry I don't find any, but at least you can use Workspace Grid extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/484/workspace-grid.

    For the CCSM, unfortunately, we cannot use it anymore in GNOME.

  2. Do I understand correctly that you can't switch workspaces at all? The default keybindings can be found and changed at Settings > Devices > Keyboard under Navigation. Don't know how to help with the cube effect, sorry.
