Reviews of virtual desktops:
i don't know how it works:[
I'll second what another reviewer mentioned, i.e. that it works, however, the instructions are not only poor but also unintuitive. The gist is that Shift+Alt+D opens the extension, from which point you can move the open window to the next virtual desktop. To actually switch between desktops, it's Shift+Alt+D to activate the extension, then with no hotkeys/modifiers press Left or Right to switch. The provided instructions suggest you'd need a modifier to switch even after activating the extension, but that's decidedly not the case. From a functionality point of view, it would be good to also have some sort of expose-style view that provides an overview of what's open on each desktop (similar to what's available in macOS or Windows 10), but I also understand that's asking a lot of a free extension - especially one that seems like it will be obsolete by the end of the year as multi-desktop support is already in beta channels of Chrome OS and Chrome.
It needs better instructions, for sure! Alt+Shft+d opens the extension. To make a new desktop, click on an open window, press Alt+Shft+d to open, the Ctl+right arrow to place the new window in its own desktop. Then Alt+Shft+d, right or left arrow to switch between desktops. Its useful, once the habit's built. The interface could be more intuitive. But the functionality is good, once you get onto it! Google should build this into Chromebooks, imho. It needs better instructions, for sure. That said, I use it almost every day.
I don't know how it works. Ctrl-Shift-D bookmarks all tabsQ :(
please work on this more, would like to see what this could become.
After trying, for quite a while, to figure out how to use this extension I still don't know how to use it. At this point, I'll just give up. While I'm sure that some people will find this extension useful, I didn't.
A lot of potential, but after signing out of my chromebook user and signing back in, the non-primary desktops disappeared (though the windows on those other desktops was preserved).
