In Snow Leopard, I was able to switch between spaces using Ctrl+# where # is a number key. However, after a fresh install of Lion it seems I have lost this feature. I can still switch using Ctrl+→/←. Is it possible to re-enable the number key shortcut(s)?

This is present in system preferences.

It's under keyboard shortcuts:

Note that in the picture they're not enabled, but it's "Switch to Desktop #".

Totally missed this... thanks! – Jon Freeland Jul 22 '11 at 17:41
In (Mountain) Lion there is initially only Switch to Desktop 1 and you have to create all the desktops in advance to be able to enable the shortcut. Note that the setting is persistent, even if it is not visible at any given time. – Laas Feb 4 at 8:13
