I think the dialog windows tells you that you just press the Backspace
key to do this.

I suppose something in your keymap would let you use this key like a
Shift, Alt, or Ctrl, but I've no idea how, sorry.  Hopefully someone has

the Win-keys" and I can use the Win key in combination with a number to
go to different virtual desktops.
