But I don't worry too much about it and just let it stay at the default. For switching, I normally use either the desktop-grid view (set to trigger when the mouse hits the top-left corner of the desktop), or more frequently, simply scroll-wheel on the desktop itself. My setup is dual 22-inch full HDTV 1080p standard resolution (1920x1080) monitors, stacked, for a 1920x2160 desktop, with the "working" monitor the bottom one, allowing a maximized 1920x1080 or two side-by-side 960x1080 windows on the working monitor, and a large 1/3 height (360px) panel across the top of the top one, with the other 2/3 of it being auxiliary space, for a media player, an auxiliary konsole window, whatever. As such, part of the desktop in that auxiliary space is nearly always exposed, so I can almost always wheel-scroll over it to change desktops, and that's the way I do so most often. Meanwhile, there's also the individual keyboard shortcuts for each desktop, if worse comes to worse. I don't use them much on my main machine, but DO use them frequently on my 1024x600 resolution netbook, where I have the checkbox set for kwin to maximize nearly everything, including dialog windows, so the desktop is very rarely available to scroll over. These are CTRL-F1 thru CTRL-F12 (up to 12 desktops) by default, but I map them to Win-F1 (Meta-F1) upward instead, as the Win key is what I map nearly all my windows and other kwin shortcuts to. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
