Next, the ctrl+f1 -f4 shortcuts for desktop 1-4 are horribly inefficient due to the left ctrl being at the absolute bottom of the keyboard while the F'keys are at the absolute top. This eliminates the chance of an efficient switch without having to reposition your hands on the keyboard and then reset after the key combo is entered. Even using the right ctrl (which many laptops do not have) requires a stretch with the left hand to reach the F'keys. If the CA+left and CA+right are defined for the 'previous' and 'next', that takes care of the problem, but if anyone can suggest another scheme for desktops 1-4, it would really help get rid of some keyboard inefficiency.
Hi David, Har! You hit on a very old gripe of mine! God and UNIX demand that the control key be located directly left of the "A" key. I've been cursing that knuckle-headed IBM engineer who redesigned the IBM-AT keyboard for 25-years. I've also been remapping my keyboard layouts, making the caps lock key and extra control key. It can be done with sax2 or by adding Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" to the "InputDevice" section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
