technically they're 'workspaces' not 'desktops' but meh...

depends on how your virtual workspaces are arranged. These shortcuts
should work properly, unless you have all your workspaces in a column.
Is the ctrl+alt+left/right key combo used for anything else?

This I can't say for sure as I've never used it, but any CLI
customizations you make that you want to apply only to you /should/ go
in your ~/.bashrc file. The thread link you included seems to be an
excellent resource on the subject. I suggest reading through the "man
dir_colors" carefully, and applying the suggested changes in your
~/.bashrc file.

Hope that's helpful :)
