Can't scroll through desktop view with prescribed hotkey

from Stardock Forums

So, with Fences 3 you should be able to change desktop view (like you would on a smartphone) by either pulling with your mouse, or using a hotkey. The former doesn't work properly for me, and i prefer using the keyboard anyway, so i tried using the hotkey: Alt+Left Arrow/Right Arrow/Mouse scroll.

Only that it doesn't work. The only function ALT seems to have is making transparent fences opaque again (temporarily).
Thoughts?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need to know some information.

1) Windows version, please use Winver.exe for full Windows version numbers.

2) Fences version.

3) A video showing us what happen when you press Alt+ Left or Right Arrow.

Thanks

Hello,

Just by looking at your video. I noticed you do not yet have a second page. Please note that to create a new page you will need to move something over to the other page.

Try it, create an empty fence. Click and drag it over to the left or right most edge of your screen. Than Fences will create a new page for you with that empty fence in it. Than you should be able to move between pages using that keyboard or mouse.

Try that and report back.

Thank you,

I wasn't aware that this was a requirement, but now that i moved a few files and fences over to the second page i do seem to move between pages seemlessly. Thanks!
