Workbench

I'd love it if it remembered my choice of UI templating language; at the moment, I manually change it to "XML" every time I open a new preview.

Should be quite easy to implement, we do this for Code language, see the setting recent-code-language.

I would like to know the possibility of adding a keyboard shortcut to switch between the two (XML and blueprint)

My current workflow innvolves desiging the UI using blueprint, and then copying the XML code into a .ui file.

I have a bit of experience with GTK apps in general so I can try to contribute where I can if the feature request is accepted.

Not against the idea of shortcuts but perhaps we can do even better.

When you switch to XML is it to make edits or copy/paste? Do you copy into a new .ui file or an existing one?

I feel like an export action might be worth considering.

I use blueprint to edit it (because i find it is much easier to edit) and then switch to XML, copy the code into a existing .ui file.

What exactly do you mean by a export feature ? Do you mean it as a "Save As" ?

Aside: I haven't found a way to load multiple files in workbench ? Because I don't need a whole "project" for my workflow, just being able to preview and edit the files.

Food for thought: Remember when the Blueprint/XML used to be a simple toggle, and now it's a dropdown?

Now it takes 2 clicks to switch a language, which is kind of a regression. It would be nice if there was a "Switch" button next to the drop down to quickly change the UI language.

Or we can leverage the new AdwToggleGroup
