How to switch between virtual desktops by keyboard?

[aldeon]

I wonder if I could switch between virtual keyboards by keyboard or not. If there is no hotkey for it, maybe setting one could be possible?

I'm using Bionicpup64 8.0

I'm using Bionicpup64 8.0

1) geany ~/root/.jwm/jwm-personal from terminal
2) add these lines under <!-- Keybindings -->
<Key mask="CS" key="Right">rdesktop</Key>
<Key mask="CS" key="Left">ldesktop</Key>
<Key mask="CS" key="#">desktop#</Key>
3) restartwm

now pressing Ctrl-Shift+? should work.

Thanks a lot. It was perfect.

I think the default hotkeys to switch the jwm virtual desktops are:

alt+1
alt+2
alt+3
etc

williams2 is absolutely correct. Funny thing is that when you refer to a virtual desktop in a script, the count starts at 0, not 1.

I would also recommend reading the good'ol GNU/Linux Command-Line Tools Summary at the old The Linux Documentation Project. Even seasoned Linux users have some aha-experiences there!
Just remember that some of the commands are not available in BusyBox, which is the lightweight version used in most Puppys, instead of the full Linux utilities.

The default Alt+1, etc, is correct.

It is possible that EASY OS has a different keybinding set than Bionicpup 64 which I use.

Indeed; seconded. Summat new I've learnt today..!

(Although I'm curious as to why this works with the 'main' number keys at the top of the keyboard, yet not with the number pad to the right. After all, these reference the exact same key-codes, don't they?)

Codes are different. Check with xev.
