Alt + Arrow Keys don't work and 2 monitors make new screens impossible.

Alt + Arrow Keys don't work to get a new page. With 2 monitors I can't flick the icons over enough, so new screens impossible.   How do I add clean screens with Fences?

Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. I believe you're referring on how to Switch between desktop pages, yes? Refer to screenshot below. It also said you can change desktop pages while press and hold "Alt" while using your mouse scroll wheel. I also notice I can change pages by press my left and mouse key together on empty space on your desktop while dragging your mouse left or right.

Thanks

Neither of those is working for me.  I cheked my Anti-virus and it's not complaining about Fences.  I can grab the edge of a screen and the icons move, but never enough to create a new desktop (which it did on Fences 3).  Both mouse buttons and middle will make the fences move but they bounce back to where they were.

 

The peek functionality works as expected so it's capturing the keyboard inputs.

Hello,

Just need to check, did you actually already create a second page on your desktop? If not, it will not work. You will need to create it first. Just move one icons or one Fences across your monitor left or right edge and Fences will automatically create a new desktop page for you. From there you should be able to swap it using those keys.

Thank you,

That was it, it's been a while since I had used a second page.   I was just using portal links on it this time
