Hi Dale,

Click the Plasma widget for your virtual desktops, go into Settings, see if
the keystrokes are listed there.
If not, in your settings app there is somewhere an applet for assigning
keystrokes to actions. It tends to be hidden so you gonna have to search
for it.
There you can assign any keystroke you want to an action. I like
Ctrl-Alt-arrow to virtual desktop up/down/left/right.
Setting the wrap function to true in virtual desktop settings helps with
this.

You might want to take a long look into your soul and examine why exactly
you want 18 virtual desktops. I have 4 and sometimes that is excessive :-)
