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 + A — “Desktop Add” CTRL + D followed by CTRL + N — “Desktop Next” CTRL + D followed by CTRL + P — “Desktop Previous” 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. > Gesendet: Freitag, 25. August 2017 um 14:56 Uhr > Von: "H.
