Switching workspaces

You can move between workspaces in different ways.

Switcher UI

The Switcher UI is a small widget that comes in two flavours: as a strip of buttons, or as a dropdown. You can see it at the top of the Hats Project Settings window:

The Buttons Switcher UI
The Dropdown Switcher UI

In the same window, you can decide which one to use, using the property Switcher Style.

Main Toolbar

If you want to see the Switcher UI in the main Unity Toolbar (i.e. where the Cloud, Layouts, Search buttons are), simply enable it in Project Settings > Hats under the Display in Toolbar property.

Toolbar UI as Buttons
Toolbar UI as Dropdown

Like the regular widget, the Toolbar UI also comes both as a button strip or as a dropdown.

Shortcuts

Hats also offers shortcuts to switch workspaces. By default, you get:

  • Alt + Shift + 1: Change to the Default workspace

  • Alt + Shift + 2-9: Change to other workspaces

  • Alt + Shift + Right arrow: Next workspace

  • Alt + Shift + Left arrow: Previous workspace

For Mac users, all shortcuts use Option + Shift.

You can customise these shortcuts in the Unity Shortcut manager.

Workspace Switcher window

If you'd rather have the Switcher UI in a different spot in your Unity Editor, you can also open it as a dockable window by going to Tools > Hats > Workspace Switcher Window.

The window will contain whatever style of widget was set in the Hats Project Settings.
