As users increasingly adopt multi-desktop environments to organize their workspaces, navigating between desktops can become a tedious task. Shortcut keys have been proposed as a solution to streamline desktop switching. This study investigates the effectiveness of shortcut keys in reducing the time and cognitive effort required to switch between desktops. We conducted an experiment with 30 participants, comparing the use of shortcut keys to traditional methods of desktop switching (e.g., using the taskbar or desktop switcher). Our results show that shortcut keys significantly reduce desktop switching time and improve user satisfaction. We also found that the most commonly used shortcut keys are those that allow users to switch to adjacent desktops. Based on our findings, we provide recommendations for designing effective shortcut key systems for multi-desktop environments.
