I've been using this for a while and been annoyed by two things it does:
- Won't allow you to assign ALT-F4 to switch to desktop 4
- It's unable to manage win32 console windows
The latter doesn't seem fixable, but I can live with it. The Alt-F4 thing can be solved with a bit of registry hacking. First, turn off nView, so that it saves its state into the registry. Then open up regedit and create the key shown in the picture below (the full registry path can be seen in the status bar). Once you've added it, turn on nView again.
I did try VirtuaWin for a while, but it has particularly crappy interaction with the cygwin X server: switching desktops causes most of your xterm windows go into attention grabbing flashing mode. Very annoying.

I've started using Virtual Dimension (available at sourceforge) and it rocks. I would recommend it. I use Alt+(1-4) for my hot keys, but I know for a fact that Alt+F4 works out of the box.
Alt-F4 is a built in windows hotkey to close an application. I also use the Nvidia. I wanted to be able to use the Windows key + 1-4 but it wouldn't let me do that.
I'll give Virtual Dimension a try and update my app list at http://johnnynine.com/blog
My display properties for settings at the nVidia nView Desktop Manager will not hold after turning off the computer and the next time I turn it on it reverts to 800 by 600 pixels on the screen resolution slider. What have I done wrong to create this? No matter how often I reset it to 1280 by 1024 it just won't stick! And it reverts back to the wrong settings! Why is this? Thanks for the Help! Brenda
