Comment 5 for bug 54410

my expectation was that the desktop would switch only if ctrl+alt+direction were pressed all at the same time, and never otherwise. That's the way things work in most other programs; for example, if you hold ctl+shift+left in a text editor (with PC-like bindings) it highlights one word to the left. Then continue holding shift and press left (or right) and it will highlight a char at a time.
