The classic "drag and drop" also works, so much so that by moving an application from the preview to the "+" button you can automatically create a new desktop. You can even close open applications without actually entering the new desktop.

- Windows key + CTRL + Left / Right Arrow: Go to the previous or next desktop
- Windows key + CTRL + D: Create a new desktop
- Windows key + CTRL + F4: Close the active desktop
- Windows key + TAB: start viewing the desktops (Task View)

For this the contents will be updated to reflect any changes made by the software house.
