+<p>2023-11-02</p>
+<p>The <code>dwm</code> window manager is my standard &#8220;go-to&#8221; for most of my personal laptop environments. For desktops with larger, higher resolution monitors I tend to lean towards using GNOME. The GNOME DE is fairly solid for my own purposes. This article isn&#8217;t going to deep dive into GNOME itself, but instead highlight some minor configuration changes I make to mimic a few <code>dwm</code> shortcuts.</p>
+<p>For reference, I&#8217;m running GNOME 45.0 on Ubuntu 23.10</p>
+<h2 id="setting-up-fixed-workspaces">Setting Up Fixed Workspaces</h2>
+<p>When I use <code>dwm</code> I tend to have a hard-set amount of <code>tags</code> to cycle through (normally 4-5). Unfortunately, dynamic rendering is the default for workspaces (ie. tags) in GNOME. For my personal preference I set this setting to <code>fixed</code>. We can achieve this by opening <strong>Settings</strong> &#62; <strong>Multitasking</strong> and selecting &#8220;Fixed number of workspaces&#8221;.</p>
+<h2 id="setting-our-keybindings">Setting Our Keybindings</h2>
+<p>Now all that is left is to mimic <code>dwm</code> keyboard shortcuts, in this case: ALT + $num for switching between workspaces and ALT + SHIFT + $num for moving windows across workspaces. These keyboard shortcuts can be altered under <strong>Settings</strong> &#62; <strong>Keyboard</strong> &#62; <strong>View and Customize Shortcuts</strong> &#62; <strong>Navigation</strong>.</p>
+<p>You&#8217;ll want to make edits to both the &#8220;Switch to workspace <em>n</em>&#8221; and &#8220;Move window to workspace <em>n</em>&#8221;. </p>
+<p>That&#8217;s it. You&#8217;re free to include even more custom keyboard shortcuts (open web browser, lock screen, hibernate, etc.) but this is a solid starting point. Enjoy tweaking GNOME!</p>
