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
