Workspace switching shortcuts & workspace menu don't work

[laikq]

The shortcuts Ctrl+Super+<Direction> and Super+D for workspace navigation don't work on my system (= nothing happens when I press those key combinations). Everything else that I tried (tiling, switching windows, keyboard shortcuts for maximizing/minimizing/toggle float, window stacking) works as expected. Correct dconf entries exist:

$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-down
['<Primary><Super>Down', '<Primary><Super>j']
$ dconf read /org/gnome/desktop/wm/keybindings/switch-to-workspace-up
['<Primary><Super>Up', '<Primary><Super>k']

Maybe this has something to do with switching workspaces left/right vs up/down? Touchpad gestures for switching workspaces left/right (three-finger swipe) work fine.

Context

• System: Debian 12
• GNOME Version 43
• Running on Wayland
• Installed using make local-install, from newest commit 0f7a5d1 on branch master_jammy

Thanks for developing this project!

Is your system using horizontal workspaces or vertical workspaces? The dconf values you posted are for up/down. If your system has horizontal workspaces, you'd want to check the dconf entries for the left/right shortcuts, right?

I suspect this might be the issue, however I‘m not aware of the relevant dconf settings 😬 I only found some gnome extensions for vertical workspaces

Edit: Sorry, took me a moment to realize you were probably talking about just adding the missing keyboard shortcuts and not enabling vertical workspaces via dconf.
