Hi Hannes, I've just added support for this. Update your version or load latest from Catalog. You can then use the menu or CTRL + D and then CTRL + R like "Desktop" -> "Rename" so now you have: CTRL + D and then CTRL + D like "Desktop" -> "Desktop switcher" (a custom Spotter) CTRL + D and then CTRL + F like "Desktop" -> "Fullscreen" (toggles fullscreen) CTRL + D and then CTRL + O like "Desktop" -> "Overview" CTRL + D and then CTRL + P like "Desktop" -> "Previous" CTRL + D and then CTRL + N like "Desktop" -> "Next" CTRL + D and then CTRL + R like "Desktop" -> "Rename" Side note: ========== If you work on Windows take care: if you already switch to Spur VM https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/17289 the "DesktopManager" and "QuickAccess" goodies will not work as CTRL keys are not handled correctly anymore in pharo-spur32 (for win, dated 14.12.2015) compared to non-spur VM. Esteban knows about this already and followup with merged VM code in the next weeks. As always a time issue. I have to stop in Pharo5.0 Latest update: #50495 (last non-spur image) with most of my stuff for that reason. Hope this helps and happy x-mas. Have fun T.

Hello Torsten
the desktops are named
'Desktop 1' 'Desktop 2' 'Desktop 3'.
Is it possible to change these names?
Regards Hannes

Julien Delplanque provided this week a goodie to switch between "desktops" - but his initial solution was more or less hiding windows and not really switching between real Pharo worlds/desktops.
I gave him some tips what could be done on the pharo-user list. Havent heard from him afterwards.
Now I was able to spend a few hours on this topic myself and implemented a full multiple desktop solution myself.
This works in Pharo 5 only (currently) and requires latest VM (at least on Windows) from files.pharo.org to get the keyboard shortcuts right.
To try:
Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'TorstenBergmann' project: 'DesktopManager'; configuration; loadDevelopment.
The goodie has some nice features like keyboard navigation, world menu integration and even a custom spotter with preview of the desktops.
Quick start: =========== - evaluate the above expression in a Pharo 5 image - check the world menu "Desktop" - you can press CTRL + D and then CTRL + A (= Desktop Add) to add a new desktop - you can press CTRL + D and then CTRL + D (= Desktop Desktop) to open the overview - you can press CTRL + D and then CTRL + P (= Desktop Previous) to navigate to the previous desktop - you can press CTRL + D and then CTRL + N (= Desktop Next) to navigate to the next desktop
The code is hopefully a good example on how to build a custom spotter, shortcuts, inspector extensions, ... Additionally all this is described in a new article including screenshots and a guide on how to use this new goodie:

Actually the article took more time to write than coding but I hope it helps explaining Pharo and why it is a power tool.
Project is on http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/DesktopManager Article and code is still subject to change.
Have fun T.
