* Always wanting keyboard graphics for shortcuts, Jorge suggested simple borders for simplicity. Great idea! Added. * Added Jorge's rounded boxes for note/warning/stop plus symbols. * If anyone wants to fine tune esp. colours, go ahead. Jorge and I are both challenged in that department. :) * A few small corrections and reformatting here and there. * Excluded the topic "Installation" from the contents until it's further along. git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@29269 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

<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. 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 can 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. Also, clicking on an application or one of its windows in the Deskbar will send you to the workspace it's in.</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>
