  • Shift+Super+PageUp/Down to move window to a different workspace
  • ????????????????? to close a workspace

It's sad I have to even say this. Believe it or not I have already tried finding an answer to this question.

How do you close a workspace in GNOME(specifically, Ubuntu 18.04)?

  • For me, unnused desktops in Ubuntu 22.04 are NOT automatically removed. I turned off all extensions yet empty desktops stay on right side. How to remove it?

Workspaces are automatically closed when you remove all the windows from it and switch to another one. I'm not entirely sure, but I think on Ubuntu 18.04 it might also keep one open at the bottom so you can drag windows into it.

It seems that

  • Ctrl+Alt+left/right arrow can switch the workspace
  • Ctrl+Alt+Shift+left/right arrow can bring your current window to the target workspace(create a new one if not exists) on Gnome Classic

In addition to that the size of workspace is configurable. Which also defines the behavior whether a workspace will be closed while no using.
