As a Linux user, I'm a heavy workspace user. Windows 10 has that, but I would still like to switch between them the way I do in Linux, where I use
ctrl+alt+right or left
to switch between workspaces.

However, for Windows 10 it's rather ctrl+windows+right or left.

How do I modify these Windows 10 shortcuts to those of Linux?

I tried harrymc's script but it didn't work. So I modified it and the following one worked for me:

!^Right::send, #^{Right down}{Right up}

!^Left::send, #^{Left down}{Left up}

everything else was fine.

Then I improved the script by adding the following lines

!^Down::

    send, #^{Right down}{Right up}

    Sleep, 200

    send, #^{Right down}{Right up}

    return

!^Up::

    send, #^{Left down}{Left up}

    Sleep, 200

    send, #^{Left down}{Left up}

    return

This allows to emulate a 2x2 grid with UP and Down arrows to navigate between rows.

Edit: The sleep command was added to allow the animation to finish before sending the second send otherwise I have seen some occurrences where this second instruction was ignored.

  Is there a reason you need to Sleep, 200? Removing that prevents that 200ms flash of the desktops between where you jump to. Is removing the sleep a problem if you're CPU is running high?

  I had to add the sleep command because of the delay of the animation. In other words, before adding it, I have seen many occurrences where the second send was ignored because it is executed too fast. You may modify the sleep duration or remove it if you want.

One cannot change the Windows shortcuts, but one can intercept keys
and change them on the fly.

AutoHotkey is a great program for remapping keyboard keys.
Here are the steps to set this up:

1. Download and install AutoHotkey
   


2. Create a text file named startup.ahk and paste the following inside to map
   Ctrl+Alt+Right / Left to
   Ctrl+Win+Right / Left:

!^Right::^#Right
!^Left::^#Left

3. Save and run the script to test its functionality.


4. If it performs as expected, copy the script into the Startup folder

To find the startup folder in Windows 10, open "Run" (press Win + R, or search for it in the Start menu) and type either (without quotes): "shell:startup" for the current user, or "shell:common startup" for all users. Copy startup.ahk to the folder that opens.
