The new behavior will be in staging soon. But to give you a preview this is the compromise. Basically if the visibility condition changes such that the currently visible tab would suddenly hide out from under you this will pop up. You can click “Preview anyway” and it will just dismiss the overlay. Clicking hide screen will cause the builder to transfer to the next tab like it would automatically do in the player.

In any particular context?  
No alt key on a Mac, but Option+1,2,3 doesn’t appear to do anything.

Okay, this is weird. Difficult to describe what happens - it appears to be trying to switch to the previous app I was editing. But whatever, I suspect it isn’t intended behaviour. Would you like a video?

@Jason

Edit: I’ve continued to play around with this, and no matter what I do and from where, the hotkey combinations _always_ take me back to that same app. Maybe Glide is subtly trying to tell me that I need to do some more work on that app? (which is true 🤣)

Love this, it seems as a good compromise. Thank you Jason.

It should toggle between Table View, Layout View & Settings (ie. the 3 options at the top of the screen).

But when I tried, it was behaving rather weirdly - see the video I posted above ⬆  
Would be interesting to know if it works okay for others.

Hello @Jason

Currently, if I click inside the Layout window, the editor automatically selects the corresponding tab.  
What does not exist in the old version.

For me, the editor should not automatically change the current selection.

Before, tab configuration was not tied to the preview. Now they are synced.

Got it. Sometimes we also will have more than one type of visibility per user

Thanks for the tip. I haven’t really gotten into switching between Play/Select mode, so this will help a lot.
