Howdy,

I've googled for this several times when I got a few minutes.  So far, I
don't see a way to do this.  As some know, I'm on the path to building a
new rig.  Some of you are about to see why that is.  I have 18 virtual
desktop thingys here.  Sadly, quite often something is on all of them. 
That and the age of my current system is why I want to build a new rig. 
Anyway, I sometimes need to switch to another desktop but the plasma
thingy at the bottom is slow or not responding.  I can switch with the
function keys up until about 10.  After that, those keys seems to be
used for something else or I just run out of function keys.  There's
only 12 of them on my keyboard anyway.  I'm six short.  

Is there a way with the keyboard to switch to a desktop above 10?  Even
if it just switches up one at a time, that would work.  Say switch to 10
and then keep hitting a set of keys to go to 11, then 12, then 13 etc
etc.  Eventually, I get to the one I want. 

Ideas?  Is this possible? 

Dale

P. S. Dug out my older Gigabyte 770T mobo.  Found the CPU that used to
be on it and installed it and a OEM cooler.  Got a new power supply
too.  It seems the video card is bad that used to be on it.  New one on
the way.  This could be a new torrent box and/or NAS box.  Maybe.
