How to switch workspace with mouse wheel in Unity
You can achieve that with CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Install CompizConfig Settings Manager:
Hit Alt+Ctrl+T to open terminal and run following command:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
Or search for "compizconfig-settings-manager" in Software Center and install it from there.
How to set it up?
- Once installed, Hit Super key (Windows key) to open Unity dash and search for "ccsm" and open it.
- Navigate to Desktop > Viewport Swicher
- Goto "Desktop-based Viewport Switching"
- Enable and set "Move Next" to button 5, And "Move Prev" to button 4.
That's It!

described by Basharat Sialvi, still using the CompizConfig Settings Manager that he suggested: in the Desktop Wall

, enable Edge Flip Pointer
to switch to the next viewport.
