Lets say I have 9 workspace 3 horizontally and 3 vertically. By default ubuntu starts with the top left workspace which feels goofy. How do I set to start with the middle one?
This is a nice idea. I don't know if there is a GUI way to do this (most probably, no), but you can use, for example, the following script at start up to make Ubuntu change to the top left workspace with the middle one:
#!/bin/bash
#check if xdotool is installed
if [ ! -n "$(dpkg -s xdotool 2>/dev/null | grep 'Status: install ok installed')" ]; then
echo -e "The package 'xdotool' must to be installed before to run $(basename $0)
Use 'sudo apt-get install xdotool' command in terminal to install it."
exit
fi
xdotool key Ctrl+Alt+Right
xdotool key Ctrl+Alt+Down
