keyboard-shortcuts.html. * Added workspace arrangement in Screen preferences. Updated screenshot. * Added newly learned shortcuts: CTRL+ALT+Z to maximize a window and CTRL+ALT+M for minimizing and CTRL+ALT+H to hide all windows of an app. * I-O-M: Removed "Transformation" and "Perspective" from the available transformers until those are implemented. Same for the Shape property "Rounding". Added description of Path|Rotate Vertices Right/Left. Thanks Stippi for working on these I-O-M tickets! * Corrected bottom nav-bar of apps-terminal.html. * Added black-on-white output for pre.terminal when printing to Haiku-docs.css. (Thought I did that already, but apparently not...) * Added "Ignore Double-click" to launchbox.html. * Updated all screenshots to show the new decorator design. * Ran all images thru OptiPNG which losslessly made them on avg. 11% smaller. * Updated sort order indicator in attributes.html * Added how to use pop-up navigating for moving files in tracker.html git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@32221 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<p>Workspaces are virtual desktops, complete with their own resolution, color depth and background. Up to 32 of these workspaces can be set from the <a href="prefs-screen.html">Screen</a> preferences.</p>

<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/prefs-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 Replicant, you can resize the window as desired and then drag&drop it by its handle onto the desktop (make sure "<span class="menu">Show Replicants</span>" is activated in the Deskbar menu).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><a id="switching" name="switching">Switching workspaces</a></h2>
|
|
<p>You switch between workspaces by either clicking into the Workspaces applet or by using the keyboard shortcut <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">Fx</span>, where "x" is the workspace number. It's a good idea to arrange your workspaces in rows of four to mimick the layout of the <span class="key">Fx</span> keys on the keyboard.<br />
|
|
Also, clicking on an application or one of its windows in the Deskbar will send you to the workspace it's in.</p>
|
|
<p>Another very convenient way is to use <span class="key">CTRL</span> <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">←</span>/<span class="key">→</span>/<span class="key">↑</span>/<span class="key">↓</span> to navigate spatially the rows/columns of the available workspaces.</p>
|
|
<p>You can switch back and forth between two workspaces with <span class="key">ALT</span> <span class="key">~</span> (which, depending on the keymap you're using, is the key below <span class="key">ESC</span>, which you have to hit twice to get a <tt>~</tt>).</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2><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>
