Workspace doesn't switch diagonally in the top left direction when hitting ctrl+alt and left+up at the same time #239

In short, when attempting to switch workspaces from a bottom right workspace to a top left workspace by hitting ctrl+alt and up+left at the same time, it will either switch to the workspace to the left or the workspace above. It will not go diagonally.

I tested ctrl+alt and up+right and it changes diagonally. I also tested ctrl+alt and down+right and it changes diagonally.

I am encountering this on a fresh Ubuntu 22 install.

After more research online, I discovered that the issue is keyboard rollover. Basically my computer's keyboard doesn't accept ctrl+alt+up+left as input. Here is the post that led me to this conclusion: https://askubuntu.com/questions/493753/diagonal-switching-to-the-top-left-workspace-doesnt-work . After plugging in another keyboard, the workspace switching is working as expected.
