Changelog

Added new heavily requested features providing more fine control in creating switch groups and its positioning up to the users liking. Labelled all UI elements in the On-Hover descriptions of the addon so new users can easily configure their preferences.

New Features:

  • Swap Switch Positions – Added a Left/Right toggle to rearrange switches in the header.
  • Custom Shortcut Key binds – Assign shortcut keys for faster editor switching.
  • Fully Labeled UI Elements – Improved clarity by ensuring all UI elements are properly labeled.
  • Enhanced Error Handling :
    • Editor Cycling Fixes – Prevents errors when cycling through editors.
    • Empty Switch Exception Handling – Ensures the addon doesn't break when no valid switches are available.
  • Implemented state persistence - Now the addon preferences are stored globally and independent of the blend file unlike previous versions.

  • Editor Lists: Easily manage and view all editors in each group from a structured list in the Preferences panel.
  • Reorder Editors: Customize the switch sequence by moving editors up or down within a group.
