[Request] Tabbed "layouts"

Unity Engine
1

Hello!

Blender 2.8 has a very helpful addition, where window presets are seen as tabs. This makes swapping tabs incredibly easy.

I personally don’t really ever use layout swapping in unity, since it’s a bit awkward to swap: I’m not sure that it’s really meant to be swapped often, as it reloads the entire interface, something that takes around 10 seconds in my case.

It would be VERY useful to be able to have tabs on the top which can swap between different layouts, without reloading the entire interface. Basically keeping the other windows in memory, just not rendering them.

Are there any plans for something like this?

It shouldn’t take 10,seconds to move tab. For me is as gas fast, as my hand fast is. I think you may have something in background going on? Is this happening for empty scene too?

The lag issue seems to be fixed in Unity 2019.3 for me.

This should mean I could build my own tabbed layouts!
