invoke workspace manager on D-bus request or from command line

[Danielle Foré]

You should be able to invoke the workspace manager from the command line. This would allow us to create a .desktop shortcut.

A d-bus request is probably better.

/me is not familiar. Would a D-Bus interface allow us to create a .desktop shortcut?

[Sergey "Shnatsel" Davidoff (shnatsel)]

Sure it will.

Workaround!

sudo apt-get xautomation

Then create a launcher that does this:

xte 'keydown Super_R' 'key s' 'keyup Super_R'

I have it on my plank, it works great until we get a legit fix.

Getting required key combos from dconf might work if we don't come up with a better alternative

Targeting to luna-beta1 because we need this for implementing Plank launcher that opens workspaces overview.

I believe this has been fixed right?

[Tom Beckmann (tombeckmann)]

Oh, right, thanks :)
