Ubuntu 20.04 uses Gnome 3 as default window manager. Unfortunately, I cannot find anything about workspace settings in Ubuntu 20.04, so it seems it is not there on Ubuntu 20.04 by default. In this guide I will show you how to add multi workspaces on Ubuntu 20.04.
I usually working multiple projects at the same time and on each project I need to open a lot windows at the same time. It will be nice to me to place each project on separate workspace or desktop.
Let’s start by installing gnome-tweaks. This is a tool to tweak Ubuntu Gnome desktop.
$ sudo apt install gnome-tweaks
Open gnome-tweaks in your applications.

Go to workspace setting. I like static workspaces, so it doesn’t disappear when workspace is empty.
Also, read install docker on Ubuntu 20.04.

You can also use CTRL + ALT + UP or DOWN arrow to switch.

You can also use custom shortcuts in settings. In my case I like to use CTRL+1 to switch to workspace 1, CTRL+2 to switch to workspace 2 and so on.
