I would like to see a shortcut to take a screenshot with the delay of a few seconds but I don't think its possible
Hi dear, I need you help, if possible: I need to create a shell script that reproduces the effect of ctrl+alt+right_arrow to switch on another virtual desktop, from the principal one.
So the intent is that I do not press the combination of botton, but I execute the script to have the same effect.
Could you help me please?
Thank you in advance.
