Editor Swap earns its place in the superhive library as a focused customization add-on: GPL-licensed, holding a 5-star rating across six reviews, and compatible across Blender 3.6 to 4.4.
Editor Swap is a Blender add-on from carlosmu that lets you switch between editors using either a button on the editor's header or a keyboard shortcut. The linking between editors is fully customizable, so you can swap sequentially between two or more editors.
The default shortcut is CTRL + ALT + X, and you can reassign it to a combination of your choice from the add-on preferences. The same preferences let you change icons and behaviour, and you can hide the header button entirely if you'd rather use the shortcut alone.
Installation follows the standard Blender add-on process: download the zip and add it from Edit > Preferences > Add-ons. From Blender 4.2 onward, you can also drag the zip file directly into the interface. Editor Swap is compatible with Blender 3.6 through 4.4 and is distributed under the GPL license.
Editor Swap is best for blender users who want to switch between editors quickly with a button or a shortcut, and who like customizing icons, behaviour and keybindings.
Editor Swap is completely free to download and use.
Editor Swap lists compatibility with Blender versions 3.6 through 4.4, and it's marked as Blender Extension compatible. If you run a Blender release inside that range, the add-on should work with your setup. For versions outside that window, check the developer's page before installing, since compatibility isn't confirmed beyond the listed range. The add-on installs like any other Blender add-on through Preferences, and from Blender 4.2 onward you can also drag the zip directly into the interface to set it up.
Editor Swap ships with a default shortcut of CTRL + ALT + X to trigger a swap between editors. You can change this shortcut to one of your choice from the add-on preferences, and you can also adjust icons and behaviour there. If you prefer working without a header button, you can hide it and rely on the shortcut alone. The linking is fully customizable, so you can set up sequential swaps between two or more editors to match how you work.
Editor Swap installs the same way as any Blender add-on: download the zip file and add it from Edit > Preferences > Add-ons. From Blender 4.2 onward, you have a second option, which is to drag the zip file directly into the Blender interface to install it. Once installed, you can switch between editors by clicking the button on editor headers or using the shortcut. Icons, behaviour and the shortcut itself can all be configured from the add-on preferences afterward.
Editor Swap is listed as free in this catalog. For current licensing terms and any purchase options, check the developer's page, since pricing can change over time. The add-on is distributed under the GPL license. Beyond licensing, installation follows the standard Blender add-on process through Preferences, with drag-and-drop support added from Blender 4.2 onward. Once set up, the tool lets you swap between editors using a button or a customizable shortcut.
