[DesktopManager][Question] How do I jump to a particular desktop?
Hello I have loaded your DesktopManager package into Pharo 6/6.1. It is useful as always! A remark: If I open a new desktop the desktop is white and not black (New Pharo 'dark' theme). I have to choose the theme manually through the 'Settings' dialog, searching for 'theme' and then reconfirming that I want the 'dark' theme. A question: I Squeak I can jump to a particular 'desktop' (actually 'Project' there ) with some code [1] in a workspace (playground) like (Project named: 'Pillar') enter Is there a similar construction with the DesktopManager? To jump to another desktop with a code snipped is useful as the number of Desktops increases. Currently I have 14 and it may increase up to 50. This also helps to create buttons to jump to a particular desktop. Thank you for the answer in advance Hannes Hirzel [1] http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1013
P.S. I just realized that the 'Spotter' opens a desktop if I search for it. So with some specific naming I can quickly switch desktops this way as well. On 8/25/17, H. Hirzel <hannes.hirzel@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Hannes, Code is on http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~TorstenBergmann/DesktopManager which points to this article: https://medium.com/@astares/multiple-desktops-for-pharo-5cbc46f3179f which should explain the details and that you can access the desktops using: Desktop manager desktops You can also click "CTRL+D" folowed again by another "CTRL+D" (DesktopManager -> Desktops") to have a custom spotter just for showing/switching the desktops. There is also CTRL + D followed by CTRL + AââââDesktop Addâ CTRL + D followed by CTRL + NââââDesktop Nextâ CTRL + D followed by CTRL + PââââDesktop Previousâ The only downside is that the global shortcut handler catches the "CTRL+D" for DesktopManager but also eats the same key event from the Playground which means the "do it" (which is also CTRL+D" is not working in a Playground anymore when DesktopManager is installed. Have not yet found a suitable solution for this. Contributions/fixes/ideas to solve this are very welcome. Thx T.

Hello Torsten Thank you for the links to the DeskTopManager documentation. I know can use playgrounds with expressions like (Desktop manager desktops detect: [ :dt | dt name = 'Pillar Morphic Renderer']) useAsDesktop. and (Desktop manager desktops detect: [ :dt | dt name = 'PetitParser']) useAsDesktop. to quickly move to different desktops. In my intallation I added a utility method so that I can do Desktop manager switchToDesktopNamed: 'TeaLight' Kind regards Hannes [1] DeskTopManager>>switchToDesktopNamed: switchToDesktopNamed: aString (Desktop manager desktops detect: [ :dt | dt name = aString]) useAsDesktop.
