WinJump

Whether your work entails multitasking or you prefer to have separate workspaces for different purposes, customizing various virtual desktops can lend a hand with organizing them properly. While efficient, toggling between them can be irritating, especially since you cannot change the standard hotkey for this.

WinJump is a lightweight utility designed for simplifying the way to switch between your virtual workspaces.

The application doesn’t have an interface, which is not necessarily a drawback, considering that its role is to enable a custom hotkey to help you navigate between virtual desktops. Nevertheless, you can view the app is active in the system tray, as it is marked as a number that represents the workspace you are currently using.

Switching between the desktops can be done using a simple hotkey, namely Alt + number corresponding to the workspace you want to access. If you are already using the shortcuts for other programs, then you can modify them in the configuration files directly. If you're on a specific desktop and want to return to the previous one, then press the shortcut for the desktop you're currently on to go back to the last desktop used.

The app also includes an advanced feature that allows you to define and toggle between desktop groups. Although Windows doesn’t inherently categorize workspaces into groups, you can define your own groups and navigate between them. The developer provides a small guide and example in this sense, so don’t hesitate to check out the home page.

WinJump provides you with a straightforward way to switch between your various virtual workspaces. Regardless if your workflow entails regularly toggling between desktops, or you just want to improve your multitasking, you can jump to the desired workspace with just one hotkey.
