Context Switcher for Blender

Overview

Context Switcher is a Blender addon that allows users to quickly switch between different area types and workspaces in the Blender interface. It provides a convenient popup menu accessible via a keyboard shortcut or search, making it faster and easier to change both your workspace and layout configuration.

Features

  • Quick switch to Blender area types or Workspaces.
  • Popup menu at cursor location.
  • Configurable shortcut for instant access.

Usage

There are three ways to access the Context Switcher:

  1. Shortcut: Set a shortcut in preferences to open the Context Switcher popup at your cursor location. I have mine set to control + right click which I find nice.
  2. View Menu: In the 3D Viewport, go to View > Context Switch.
  3. Search: Press F3 or use the search menu, then type "Context Switcher" to find and execute the command.

Once the popup appears:

  • The leftmost column shows available workspaces, with the current workspace highlighted.
  • The remaining columns show different categories of editor types.
  • Your current editor type is highlighted in its respective category.
  • Simply click on any workspace or editor type to switch to it.
