If you're using Gnome, go to Preferences->Personal->Keyboard Shortcuts.
Down near the bottom are options for "Switch to workspace N". By
default they're disabled, but there are defaults for:
Switch to workspace on the left: CTRL+ALT+Left
Switch to workspace on the right: CTRL+ALT+Right
Switch to workspace above: CTRL+ALT+Up
Switch to workspace below: CTRL+ALT+Down
Is that what you want? I have no idea how KDE does this.
