Bug Description

I don't have a Super key on the right hand side of my keyboard, so using the current workspace switching shortcuts is cumbersome, as they require using both hands in my case.

Using Super+Tab to switch to another workspace would work nicely in my use cases. Cycling through all workspaces would be sufficient. Intelligently switching to the last used ones would be an added bonus.

We have two ways on implementing this: as 'alias' for <Super>Left/Right with <Super>(<Shift>)Tab or with a completely new shortcut that'd support cycling. Which one do you want, design team?

As a quick fix it's probably fine to do an alias. But I think the expected behavior is to support cycling with tab.

Not a designer, but what I would prefer is what Daniel describes. This doesn't need to be done by tomorrow, anyway.

I went for the real solution now. I don't know how this intelligent switching would work properly though.
