    To change desktops by you can use Super + 1, Super + 2, etc.

    Where can I change these keyboard shortcuts ? They don't appear in the Control Center > Shortcut section.

    1. gsettings get com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-1
    Copy the Code
    1. gsettings get com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-2
    Copy the Code

    is that the shortcuts you're referring to?
    if so, then use something like:
    1. gsettings set com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-1 'your-key-binding'
    Copy the Code

    or install dconf-editor and use the gui to explore(use the search bar and search for keybind) most of the keybindings available...

    I tried your first method, and got this error :

    1. mike@solaris:~$ gsettings set com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-1 'é'
    2. unknown keyword:
    3.   é
    4.    ^      
    Copy the Code


    I guess the Super key has to be written differently ?

    Then I tried a search in dconf Editor and found the keybindings relative to workspace. I modified them like this :



    But after I rebooted, they are not taken into account, the old keyboard shortcuts still work.

    What am I going wrong ?

    I tried your first method, and got this error :

    There is a shortcut switch-to workspace and another one move-to-workspace which is referring to moving a window to another workspace. Maybe you didn't change the rigth one as i see in the picture?
    As for the first one my mistake.. it has to be written like that
    1. gsettings set com.deepin.wrap.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-to-workspace-1 "['space']"
    Copy the Code

    Ah yes, once I changed "switch-to-workspace" it worked. Very cool that it applies immediately without logging out or rebooting !

    I noticed that the keybindings are understood as QWERTY (English keyboard) by the system, that was confusing at first because I use a French (AZERTY) layout. So for example when I want to bind something to Super + A, I actually have to write ['Q']. I suspect this might be a bug, I submitted a feedback notice to Deeping two weeks ago when I first encountered it in the Control Center > Shortcuts.
