Shorts cut to create new named space and switch to a named space

TotalSpaces

This is a feature request. The primary benefit I gain from TotalSpace is being able to assign names to spaces. This allows me to keep my work organized.

One feature that would make me a lot more productive is being able to create a new named spaced using a keyboard short cut. Right now one has to go through the cumbersome process of opening the Preferences, going to the Layout, adding a Space, assigning it a name, then closing the Preferences. All this could be streamlined.

Creation of a named space would be paired with keyboard shorts cuts to destroy and rename a named space, and to switch between named spaces. Right now we can switch between neighboring spaces using the short cuts, but not go to a specific named space, except by pulling down on the menu bar icon and selecting one.

I can see how this would be useful in your workflow.

I can consider adding it. In the mean time, if you are a developer you can certainly make a feature like this using the API https://github.com/binaryage/totalspaces2-api/tree/master/ruby

I did not realize you had an API. Very cool. Thanks.

Here you go. TotalSpaces integrated with Quicksilver using space names for management. https://github.com/eliaslevy/totalspaces_qs
