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.
