Workspace Grid for Cinnamon

Author: Nicola Battilani

Description

Cinnamon extension to allow a 2d workspace grid, navigate via key-bindings only.

Navigating

The keys required are probably not where you would expect, and probably don't have default values:

Switch up   Switch to workspace 11
Switch down Switch to workspace 12
Move Up     Move to workspace up
Move Down   Move to workspace down

Because it looks like the available key-bindings are hard-coded into the cinnamon source. The other workspace-grid overrides expo and scale keys, and doesn't allow moving windows up and down. Using this key-bindings you can have also Expo and Scale.

WARNING: Using Expo (or anything other than this applet) for adding/removing workspaces will cause Cinnamon to crash! While using this applet ONLY add/remove desktops via the applet's settings window.

ToDo

Switch applet - Just keybindings for now

Cleanup - It doesn't clean up well after itself, you may need to restart cinnamon to go back to 'normal'

The user should be able to select which keybinding this overrides, in case they have > 10 desktops.

Thanks
