Editor Swap (Blender UI Addon)

Are you searching for a quick way to swap between editors?
You need more space? For example joining the outliner and properties editor?

What is this addon for?

This addon will allow you to swap editors with a button or a shortcut. The linking between editors is fully configurable. You can swap between two or more editors sequentially.

Additionally you can also hide the button if you prefer only to use the shortcut. You can also assign the shortcut of your preference.

Enable or Disable buttons and set a custom icon.

If you need hide the button in some editors you can select the same editor in the preferences.

I have tested the addon with 2.83 and higher versions. If you have a problem with any of those versions, please let me know.

For 2.93 use at least the version (v 1.1).

For 3.0 use at least the version (v 1.2). This is compatible with all versions sice 2.83 and above.

 If you have a problem with any of those versions, please let me know.

Save your vertical space joining the outliner and properties editor.

You can configure the functionality of the addon as you prefer.
