Virtual Desktops

Ctrl + number switches to a virtual desktop. Use for example Ctrl+1 to access the first virtual desktop.
Configuring virtual desktops: TODO

Lock Screen

The lock screen is accessible.

Ctrl-Alt-L locks the screen

Use Tab to navigate the lock screen when active. There is one text edit for the password (type your password and press Enter to unlock).

There are some additional buttons for shutdown and reboot.

The username is a list that can be navigated with the left and right arrow keys to switch between users and start new sessions.
