Disable left/right workspace switching in the overview (1.51 KB, patch)

Description Xan Lopez 2011-02-09 01:16:03 UTC 
In the recently merged workspace rework, the shortcuts to switch workspaces are inconsistent. In overview mode the ones you have assigned manually (if any) work, in my case ctr+alt+{left,right}. When not in overview, it seems now the shell hardcodes ctrl+alt+{up,down}, regardless of your preference. Ideally the option would be respected everywhere, but at the very least we should use the same thing in both.

Disable left/right workspace switching in the overview

Make the overview match the main view so only up/down can be used
to switch workspaces (matching the visuals), and not left/right
as well.
