windows-virtual-desktop-switcher

A small project to fix my frustrations with Windows not having a specific shortcut for each virtual desktop.

With this script, you are able to switch between three different virtual desktops
in windows using the shortcut: alt+NUMBER where NUMBER is 1,2 or 3.

Step 1: Install AutoHotkey

This script uses the AutoHotkey windows library so, please
download autohotkey in order to run the script.

Step 2: Edit shortcuts as pleased

Open the main.ahk file in your favourite code editor to make any shortcut changes.

Step 3: Place the script in the startup folder

If you want the script to run on windows startup please make a shortcut and add
the file inside this directory: %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Pro tip: use WIN+R and paste the path from above to open the directory location.

Step 4: Enjoy

Be blessed with easy virtual desktop switching :)

Note

If a virtual desktop switch occurs without using the program's shortcuts it will
result in having to click two-three times a given shortcut in order to refresh the
program's state but trust me that's still better than clicking WIN+(left|right)arrow.

Any troubles?

1. Open the main.ahk file and check the code
2. Use the debugging alt+~ shortcut
3. Read the AutoHotkey documentation
