✎ Last updated on 2020-01-29 at 13:01 EST

To set up multiple desktops:

1. Click Menu
2. Click Preferences
3. Click Openbox Configuration Manager

   

    

   If you do not see the Openbox Configuration Manager, install it by running:
   sudo apt-get install -y obconf

4. Click on the Desktops tab, and select the desired Number of desktops.

   

You now have multiple desktops, use the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl + Alt + ⇨ or Ctrl + Alt + ⇦ to switch between the next and previous desktop.

If the shortcuts keys do not work, refer to the following post for Raspbian keyboard shortcuts to change your key-binding in Openbox.
