Hotkeys for switching visual arrangements
So I already understand you can use the function buttons to toggle the visibility of certain windows (e.g. f9 for palletes), but due to my very limited screen space I could use more control.
I have a few different layouts that I use:
- Palettes, Play Panel, and Inspector windowed together so they occupy the same space, for general writing.
- Just palettes on the side for more rapid writing:
- Nothing but score for analysing / big picture stuff.
What would be really handy is if you could assign a key combo to each of these, 1, 2 , 3. You could switch between modes instantly. What would make this feature even more powerful is if it could also control:
- Layout of other objects, e.g. the set of note heads
- Whether it's page view, continuous view, or single page?
- Maybe even dark/light mode.
Thanks for your consideration: I'll be clarifying what I mean and my intentions to any comments you might have.

Yep, thanks for the tip, I use that already. It does save space, but it's just annoying the time it takes to move all the various window preferences around. I feel like this feature could save a lot of time by making any combination of fiddly adjustments a one-click procedure. (and on the scale of features it doesn't seem very difficult to implement)

You can do this already - just create as many workspaces as you like using the control at top right, and set them to include "GUI Components". Now, just by switching workspace,s it will also switch the configuration of windows.
