multiple desktops in suse 10.2


Hello suse users, I used to have suse 10.0 and heard many good things about 10.2 and decided to install it and it works very well. The only nagging problem I have with the newer version is the multiple desktop windows. I like to have one program per window and usually have six windows in the panel. in suse 10.0, I would switch the windows with ctrl+tab to make things quicker. Now in the newer version, it doesn't work and have to use the mouse to click on the panel to switch the desktop windows. Is there an easier way to do it? I hope I made this clear enough for everyone to understand. Thanks for the help

Go to Control Center - Yast - Regional & Accessibility - Keyboard Layouts.

Under System - Navigation you can define keyboard shortcuts if not already defined.

Right click on "Walk thourgh desktop list", click on the button at the bottom of the screen. A dialogue box comes up. Click on the radio button "primary shortcut", and in the text box, write "Ctrl+Tab". Click on OK to close the dialogue, then click on Apply to make the change.
