How Developers Can Use Assignee to Jump Between Project Windows

Developers often juggle multiple project windows, each with its own context: editor tabs, terminals, logs, and browser previews.

Switching between projects shouldn’t mean losing your focus.

Traditional Workflow:

  • Switch to a different project window
  • Reopen tabs
  • Reconnect terminal windows
  • Find related browser preview

Assignee-Powered Workflow:

Assign project windows to shortcut profiles:

  • Control + Tab, C, 1 → auth-service project
  • Control + Tab, C, 2 → payment-service project
  • Control + Tab, C, 3 → main-app for code reviews

Each profile opens:

  • VS Code or Zed in the right tab
  • Terminal in the correct project directory
  • Browser preview window

Bonus: Use Naming Conventions

Include project names in window titles so Assignee can target them easily.


Final Thought

With Assignee, switching between project windows doesn’t just change code—it changes your entire working context.
