I want to set up the rocker switch on the wheel to switch me to the next and previous workspaces, respectively. In order to do that, I need the console command that will switch back and forth. I think in KDE3 this could be done with dcop, but not sure how to do it in KDE4. I took a look at wmctrl, but it doesn't have "next" and "previous", it just takes you to a specific desktop or window. Any thoughts? admoore, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.

For others, the command for next desktop is: qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.nextDesktop Previous desktop is: qdbus org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.previousDesktop I need to learn more about qdbus, looks pretty cool. admoore, proud to be a member of KDE forums since 2008-Oct.
