<h1><img src="../../images/desktop-applets-images/workspaces-icon_64.png" alt="workspaces-icon_64.png" width="64" height="64" /><a name="applet" id="applet">Workspaces</a></h1>

<img src="../images/workspaces-images/workspaces.png" alt="workspaces.png" />
<p>You find the Workspaces applet with the other <span class="menu">Desktop applets</span> in the Deskbar. It shows a miniature version of all workspaces. There are several options available from the context menu of the applet's window, which are all pretty self-explaining.<br />
<span class="menu">Change workspace count...</span> will open the <a href="../preferences/screen.html">Screen</a> preferences where you set the number of workspaces and their arrangement (how many rows and columns).</p>
<p>Since the applet is a <a href="../gui.html#replicants">Replicant</a>, you can resize the window as desired and then drag &amp; drop it by its handle onto the desktop (make sure <span class="menu">Show replicants</span> is activated in the Deskbar menu). Hold <span class="key">SHIFT</span> while resizing to keep your screen's aspect ratio.</p>
<h2>
<a href="#"><img src="../../images/up.png" style="border:none;float:right" alt="index" /></a>
<a id="moving" name="moving">Moving windows between workspaces</a></h2>
<p>To move a window, you grab it in the Workspaces applet and simply drag it to another workspace. This has the advantage, that you can move it without leaving your current desktop. Of course, that only works well when there aren't too many windows in a workspace and your target isn't obscured by other windows. Another possibility is to grab a window by its tab and just holding on to it while switching workspaces with <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">Fx</span>.</p>
<p>For more information on workspaces in general and more keyboard shortcuts, see topic <a href="../workspaces.html">Workspaces</a>.</p>
<div class="box-info">Try this: Make the Workspaces window really big and hide the window tab and border. Now go to the <a href="../preferences/shortcuts.html">Shortcuts preferences</a> and assign <span class="key">CTRL</span> <span class="key">^</span> to the Workspaces applet (<span class="path">/system/preferences/Shortcuts</span>).<br />
Now you can quickly summon the applet with a key combo and equally quickly dismiss it again with <span class="key">ESC</span>.</div>

<a id="special" name="special">Special functionality</a></h2>
<p>The Workspaces applet provides some additional functionality when clicking on a window while holding certain modifier keys:</p>
<table summary="functionality-thru-modifiers" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4">
<tr><td><span class="key">CTRL</span></td><td style="width:15px;"></td><td>Brings the window to the front.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="key">CTRL</span> <span class="key">SHIFT</span></td><td></td><td>Minimizes the window.</td></tr>
<tr><td><span class="key">OPT</span></td><td></td><td>Sends the window to the back.</td></tr>
