KDE 4.2: Taskbar widget to switch between desktop 1-4 [SOLVED]

While I was messing around with my taskbar widgets, I accidentally removed the one that lets you switch between desktop 1-4 with a mouse click. It's usually found to the very right of the kickoff launcher on a default KDE install. I can still switch desktops with the keyboard, but I liked it being there and can't find it in the "add widgets" menu. I was using default KDE 4.2.1 when this happened, but I've since switched to KDEMod. Anyone know how I can get this back?

Slow switch between desktops (spaces)

Hi all
Just updated to 10.8. I think this is a new problem, one that was not in OsX Lion. I have a word document on desktop1 and a pdf file (or something else) on desktop2. I need to switch between deskt.1&2 quite fast and fluently to take notes from the pdf. But I can't start typing right away in the word document. I know I could just have the two programs on deskt.1 and cmd+tab between, but I prefer the other way.
This is a bit of a flaw, don't you think? Solution?
Sincerely,
Helgi

Sure, with compiz you can do a lot more than this . I've installed KDE4 again, but cannot get it to switch desktops the way I wanted. Scroll over pager works on every DE, though it requires precise mouse aiming over the pager. In XFCE I don't have to aim - just move the mouse to the side of the screen (where I have margin set, so desktop is available there) and scroll.
Alt+scroll requires additional movement, which is annoying when for example I do things, that don't require keyboard use (like composing the playlist, browsing the web, changing the GTK2 themes and so on ). I like minimizing things to do to achieve the goal. Therefore I also use cairo-dock, which removed additional mouse click (for raising the menu) when opening the most used applications...
A funny and I think useful feature I found in KDE4 is action bound to scroll over the window titlebar - it moves the window and the user to the next desktop .

Yosemite switches between desktops slow

Hi everyone. I have MBP Retina Late 2014 with 2,8 Ghz i5. When i bought this MBP it has 10.9 Mavericks installed on it. When Apple release the Yosemite, i upgraded to it. But my cousin who has a MacBook Air 13" 2012 (Mavericks) did not upgraded. Now when we sit together and switch among desktops, MacBook air seems faster. What kind of problem is that? Plus it has a little delay whiles performing some visualeffects such as minimizing a window.

Greetings DanK,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with Multi-Touch gestures. Have you tried turning on the setting "Swipe between full screen apps" in the Trackpad pane in System Preferences? This may restore the functionality you mentioned:
Mac Basics: Multi-Touch gestures - Apple Support
Swipe between full screen apps and spaces
Three finger horizontal swipe on your Trackpad, or two finger horizontal swipe on your Magic Mouse.
To move to the full screen app or space on the left:
Magic Trackpad – Three finger swipe to the right.
Magic Mouse – Two finger swipe to the right.
To move to the full screen app or space on the right:
Magic Trackpad – Three finger swipe to the left.
Magic Mouse – Two finger swipe to the left.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,

How do I switch between desktops on Lion?

I had to reinstall Lion on my Macbook Pro and everything went back to default settings. I have 4 desktops that I use and I used to be able to switch between them by hitting command and an arrow key but now that's not working! I've tried going into keyboard settings under system preferences but that didn't work. Please help!!

On a Macbook Retina it is a four finger left-right or right-left swipe.

Switch between desktops using mouse wheel

Just a simple question - is there a possibility to switch desktop with use of the mouse wheel on the desktop background? I know it is possible in XFCE, but how about KDE or GNOME?
Why it is important to me - I have simplified changing desktops by setting a 5 pixel margin on the bottom and the right of the screen, so there is always desktop background visible. To switch desktop I simply move mouse to the edge of the screen and scroll - simple, fast and efficient. And funny - this is the main thing that binds me to XFCE, even though my computer is fast enough to handle KDE4 .
Some time ago I have installed GNOME, and later KDE4.1, and tried to find such feature, but I did not succeed unfortunately, even though I spend some time over the documentation and the settings panels. Currently with the introducing KDE4.2 and nvidia-180 driver, which improves 2D graphics somewhat (i.eg. gtkperf gives now 6.5 sec instead of 9.5 that it used to be before upgrade) I'm interested in switching to KDE. Can anyone help me?
P.S. Sorry fo my english

Switching between multiple desktops while using VNC

Hi All,
Encountering a minor inconvenience with switching between desktops while VNC-ing. I frequently telecommute and VNC into my work imac, which has parallels + windows 7 installed. My personal machine is a retina macbook pro, and both my macbook and the imac have the newest mavericks installed. I will frequently have multiple desktops open on my imac, but I find that when I am VNC-ing into the imac and then open up parallels in a full window that I am then unable to switch back to my other OS X desktops unless I completely shutdown my windows VM. Normally hotkeys works for me to switch between desktops (and still works when switching from OS X window to OS X window), but it just doesn't do the trick here. I know could just configure my imac so that parallels doesn't open up in full screen mode, which would solve the issue, but I feel like there's gotta be a way to switch desktops while VNC-ing! All tips appreciated!
Thanks,
KP

Hi,
This is possible using access restrictions in Universe designer based on user login.
For eg. there is user A,B and C and three connections C1,C2 and C3.
In Manage access restrictions you have to create a three restrictions(R1,R2 and R3): one using C1,second C2 and third C3.
Apply these three restrictions to corresponding to the users. i.e. R1-->A,R2-->B and R3-->C.
So based on user login the instance will be used for same report.
In IDT , I think this can be done using Data Level Security, but the concept wil be same.
Thanks

Switch between Windows in Mission Control

What is the shortcut to switch between windows, add a Space or delete a space in Mission Control?
I bring Mission Control with CONTROL - UP. However, once I see all windows, I cannot choose the application with a keyboard shortcut, nor add or delete a space with a keyboard shortcut.
Any ideas?

Control right/left arrow or control space number will switch between Desktops.
Tom delete a Desktop, select it and an X should appear in the top left corner of the Desktop.
To add a Desktop, slide the cursor to the top right corner and a + sign should appear.

How to prevent Microsoft word from switching which desktop I am on?

I have a 2011 Macbook Pro, OSX Version 10.9.2 as well as microsoft word for mac 2011 (the most recent update). I have had an issue for a number of years where when I have microsoft word open in one desktop and am using another application in another desktop, I will automatically jump back to the desktop with microsoft word without doing anything. I am then forced to switch between desktops back to the desktop I was on before. It's obviously pretty obnoxious. Does anyone know a fix for this? I tried searching for an answer, and tried unchecking "...switch to a space with open windows of that application" in System Prefences. But the problem persists, and I don't mind switching desktops when I click on an app I actually want to use.

You need to install Office on the computer from the installer DVD or disc image you purchased.

Windows stuck "between" desktops

I am trying to open a new finder window with two desktops active. The window doesn't appear on either desktop, but does appear briefly when switching between desktops using Control arrowkey. I've had this happen with programs as well. I had Spaces active when I did my upgrade and this is like "ghost" spaces, stuck in the netherworld of cyberspace. Sorry, I'm showing my love for scifi. How do I fix this?

I've seen this a few times when Finder was assigned to "all desktops". If this is the case, right click (cntl click) the dock icon > options > assign to none.

HT5392 How can I use an Action List to re-order my layers in iAd Producer? It looks like there's a tool for this, but I can't figure out how to use it. I want to use a button to switch between a text field and a drawing pad layer.

I am working on an iBooks Author Widget and want to allow the user to switch between drawing-pad functions and a text field on screen. I'd like to create an action that will automatically re-order the layers so that the text field is accessible when typing but covered when writing by hand. Then, I'd like the opposite to be available, so that the text field is accessible when typing, but the drawing pad is left alone.

Switch between fullscreen windows of same app

I have Safari open and have multiple windows that are opened as fullscreen. I want to be able to switch between the fullscreen windows of Safari with a keyboard keystroke. When not in fullscreen I can use Cmd-` to switch between windows of the same app but I am unable to do this in fullscreen mode and perfer to use the keyboard as much as possible. Any help would be great.

So far I've found that I can use ctrl-left and ctrl-right to switch back and forth between widgets, desktop, and fullscreens but I would rather use cmd-tab to switch to the app and then switch between windows in that app.

Can't switch between HDMI and VGA displays

I have a new H430, with hdmi and vga ports. My HP zr2240w monitor permits switching between AVG and HDMI displays, which I would like to do. But when I plug in both cables (HDMI and VGA) only VGA will work. If I switch to HDMI or make it the default display, the screen freezes at the desktop background: no mouse, no taskbar etc. Is is possible that the D430 video card will not support switching between displays (on a single monitor)
thanks,

Dear Monika and Mylenium: I figured out part of the problem, but not the solution: The shape I had drawn -and coudn't switch between fil and stroke on-is one I had already done a gradient mesh on, too. I had later abandoned the gradient mesh by using the option key to delete mesh lines, but that didn't take the shape all the way back to its original flat state. So it wasn't a plain drawn shape any more. So how do I release the gradient mesh to get back to a flat shape? I'm also having trouble keeping the shapes in RGB or CMYK mode-they keep defaulting back to greyscale. Could that also be a symptom of using gradient mesh? Note: I'm using gradient mesh for the very first time now; I've never used it before. It seems to leave a lot of unexpected baggage behind. I would send a screen shot, but if I start up Grab or Voila, all the AI pallets go away, and that's half the information. So how do I control gradient mesh?
