    I know that I can change desktops by either clicking on their icon or rolling the mousewheel while holding Alt.

    I'm wondering if there's a pure keyboard shortcut for switching between desktops.

    One can also look at ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml to see all the shortcuts available for keyboard and mouse.

    To switch a window between the different desktops, right click it in the toolbar and select its "workspace" as they call it there.
