Suggestions: alt+ctrl+up/down or alt+shift+up/down
Edit: Because we already use alt+up/down for rooms.

Both of those are already taken.

Alt Shift up/down is previous/next unread rooms
Ctrl Shift up/down is navigate composer history

What about Alt Ctrl up/down? This is what Discord uses.
Edit: I'm not a Mac user so I'm unfamiliar with some of these runes.

That's the composer history one - the code doesn't care about the order of the modifiers

We will be adding Cmd/Ctrl + [0-9] as an initial shortcut, a relative shortcut coming later.

I'd also like to look into a desktop-only shortcut (Ctrl+Tab) once we have stuff like that figured out

For a relative shortcut I'd like to suggest what browser vendors do to go from one tab to the next

  • CommandOrCtrl + Shift + { (previous)
  • CommandOrCtrl + Shift + } (next)

Cmd/Ctrl + [0-9] will already be desktop only as it is used for tab management in browsers

True 🤦‍♂️ Why not just add Ctrl+Tab then?

Because design/product only want Cmd/Ctrl + [0-9] for now

Great! Can't wait for the relative one!

I currently have 7 spaces, but I still need to count first every time before I'm able to use the Ctrl+Number shortcut. Grabbing the mouse instead is quicker. While relative shortcuts would alleviate this, I want to make the suggestion that holding down Ctrl/Cmd should make numbers appear next to the spaces (at least 0-9) so it becomes easier to use the shortcut (this could apply to navigation shortcuts that jump to a UI element like Ctrl+K, or take it further to all buttons like Esc, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+Shift+U, left/right arrow, and everything that has a visible button).
