[Feature request] Horizontal workspaces switching shortcut

[matiasnbella]

• Implement shortcut for horizontal workspace switching given that default gnome key bindings stop working when horizontal switching is turned on.

• Alternatively allow for scroll switching when in overview since it only works when the mouse pointer is positioned over the dock when horizontal switching is on.

Thanks for your time!

@FrankVitelli Use the Ctrl + Alt + Left/Right Arrow key.

@passingthru67 Doesn't seem to be working though, maybe it's a bug? I've tested with/without all other extensions enabled and the behaviour is still not present. I also followed the instructions in the bug reporting section but to no avail.

should I open another issue? For reference:

Linux Distribution version

Pop!_Os 20.04

Gnome Shell version

3.36.1

Xorg or Wayland (or both)

x11

Extension version or branch

Master

Try checking your dconf keys at:

• /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-left
• /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-right

Try checking your dconf keys at:

* `/org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-right`

Thanks! This worked. I'm not familiar with GNOME extension development, but maybe this could be automated by calling the right gsettings set command during installation?

Well, mine were already set (I'm on Manjaro). Maybe it's an OS thing?
