Switch between open projects in distraction free mode

#1

Hi guys,

How do I switch between open projects without leaving the distraction free mode with a key combination? I often need to copy some code from an old foreign project to a new one.

Yes, I can use the ‘Window’ menu, which appears when the mouse cursor is on top, and then select another project in the list. Yes, I can leave the distraction free mode and then use the Command+`shortcut.

Is there a nicer way?

Hello,

Try ctrl+alt+p (in windows at least)

Or try adding this, with the shortcut you want to your User keymap file

{ “keys”: “ctrl+alt+p”], “command”: “prompt_select_project” }

Thanks Kwelity,

That’s not actually what I want. This shortcut doesn’t switch open projects - rather it asks me to select a previous (old) project from the list. Besides, when the selected project opens, the distraction free mode is gone - it’s turns to the full screen mode with the sidebar visible.

My wish is simple: I have two open projects, both in the distraction free mode, and I want to quickly switch between them. That’s it - I just need a key combination like Command+` that usually switches application windows but by some reason doesn’t work when the distraction free mode is active.

Ok, sorry.

So you’re running two sublime text windows on mac, and want to swich between them ?

I don’t know how mac works, maybe you can’t switch between full screen aps.

Can’t you place each window on a space (I think it’s how mac call the workspaces) ?
