How do I move move to the next workspace using command line?












1















I am using Manjaro Linux 18 (Arch Linux based Linux distro). I am using XFCE desktop environment. I have 8 workspaces on my computer. How do I move to the next and previous workspace using the command line?



I have Googled and found multiple apps on Github that are said to do that, but none seem to work.






xfce manjaro xfce4-terminal

          You will need xdotool.



          Installation



          sudo pacman -S xdotool



          Usage



          Going to the next workspace



          xdotool set_desktop --relative 1



          Going to the previous workspace



          xdotool set_desktop --relative -1



          NOTE: Negative numbers are said to be allowed, but some versions of xdotool do not allow negative numbers or at least give an error. Test negative numbers before you implement scripts with negative numbers.



          Work around for going to the previous workspace
          If you have n workspaces, then for going into the previous workspace



          xdotool set_desktop --relative n-1



          where n = number of workspaces.



          Example:
          n = 8 workspaces



          xdotool set_desktop --relative 7
