Windows 10 Virtual Desktop Hotkeys












4















Is there a good way to change the hotkeys in windows 10 for the virtual desktop switcher?



My mouse, Logitech MX Performance, SetPoint doesn't support windows key. So i can bind my mouse to have it create a new desktop or switch desktops. Is there a way i can change WIN + SHIFT + D to SHIFT + 1 or some other shift + command?

    You can use a program like AutoHotKeys and create your own hotkey, that maps back, to the actual hotkey. It is extremely difficult to change the default shortcuts in Windows

  • I have been fiddling with auto hotkey but cant figure it out. Especially the 3 key to 1 or 2 keys.

  • If your question was what's an AHK script for taking in Shift + 1 and sending WIN + SHIFT + D my answer would be : +1:: Send #+d:: return

  • Woops, extra colons. Should be +1:: Send #+d return

Yes there is!! It's called zVirtualDesktop. You can configure the hotkeys any way you'd like. It also has a nice feature called DesktopView which lets you drag and drop your windows across desktops. This view also lets you quickly navigate to any window.



https://github.com/mzomparelli/zVirtualDesktop



Here are some screenshots.



You can choose from several sets of system tray icons that indicate which desktop you are viewing.
enter image description here



This is DesktopView which lets you move your windows around or navigate to a window.
enter image description here



In the main settings window you can configure hotkeys and set wallpapers for each desktop

    Doesn't really answer your question, but since you are using Logitech mouse (like me) and you are trying to configure SetPoint to switch Windows 10 Virtual Desktop via mouse (like me), then this will help:



    X-Mouse Button Control



    Basically I ditch SetPoint and replaced it with X-Mouse Button Control, I couldn't be happier!



    Logitech is just trying to force us to buy their more expensive mouse for this feature.

      I created a small tool called "QuickMouse". With QuickMouse you can switch virtual desktop by just push mouse middle button(wheel) left or right on top of screen. No hotkey needed.
