Switching among workspaces

[PBreen]

Did anyone ever figure out how to switch among workspaces with a hot key? As someone noted a while ago, Shift-F3 doesn't seem to work. Never saw an answer in the original thread. I am not likely ever to need more than two workspaces, so a toggle would be idea. Thanks.

Hello PBreen,

Thank you for the post.

The Shift+F3 Hot Key is default and I was able to perform that workspace switch just now on my installation. If this combination is not working, it is possible that some settings on your keyboard are preventing it from doing so.

That being said, while Shift+F3 is the default you may change it at any time. As you are posting in the NinjaTrader 7 forum I will share the steps to do so on that version of the platform. Please let me know if you would like the instructions for 8 as well:

*First, go to Tools->Hot Key Manager from the Control Center.
*Next, select "Global"
Next to "Next Workspace," click the drop-down arrow to select your Hot Key Configuration of choice.

Here is some more information about this menu:

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Thanks, Melissa. You were right. With another keyboard, the hotkeys work fine. Haven't a clue why NT doesn't like the keyboard I normally use, but now I know where the problem lies I should be able to get it sorted. Or just use the other keyboard. Much appreciated.

If you have many workspaces, this is a better solution: https://ninjatraderecosystem.com/use...ce-changer-v2/
You can jump directly to any workspace.
But unfortunately it only exists for NT7.

Only two most day, three at the most. But that doesn't make this any less valuable. Many thanks!

This is the ultimate solution, but unfortunatelly works only for NT7.

An alternative NT8 solution, for both Tab and Workspaces.. (although no hotkeys yet)
