An AutoHotkey script for Windows that lets users switch, create, delete, and manage virtual desktops via CapsLock-based hotkeys. It provides customizable key combinations for jumping directly to a desktop by number and moving windows between desktops.
Use cases
- switch to a specific virtual desktop by pressing CapsLock plus a number
- create and delete virtual desktops with hotkeys
- move the current window to another desktop via keyboard
- cycle left and right through virtual desktops
- customize virtual desktop hotkey combinations
- make Windows virtual desktop shortcuts behave like dwm on Linux
When to choose
- you use Windows 10/11 virtual desktops and want faster, number-based switching
- you want dwm-style desktop switching hotkeys on Windows
- you want an AutoHotkey script you can customize for desktop management
When to avoid
- you are not on Windows or do not want to run AutoHotkey
- you prefer a GUI-based virtual desktop manager
- you cannot remap CapsLock or install keyboard hooks
