Comment 62 for bug 147230

This could be a late entry but i would like to add the below

Another solution would be to assign hot keys to workspaces
i.e. suppose
Alt + 1 goes to first workspace
Alt + 2 goes to second workspace
... and so on
This could result in maximum of 9 (unlimited may be) switchable workspaces.
Switching between them would be a breeze.
second solution is to triple click desktop and drag to next/previous workspace.

Also another solution targeted towards tablets is swipe to next/previous workspace
 another solution could be swipe diagonally to bring up workspace viewer and select the required workspace.

Implementing the above i suppose am not qualified enough :-)
