I highly recommend these hotkeys.

Personally I keybind it to c+w so that I have a consistent experience
when I use Windows (11). I hate having to code switch between desktops.

As with onefang, I also use the win key for window manager-level stuff,
like w-1 for the first desktop, etc.

I love that Openbox is so configurable.
