If there are no problems with the v2 version I'll send a pull-request later on today.

You get that problem consistently it might be worth to run git bisect.

Thanks! However I'll have to start a workbench from C++ which is the main part of the problem for me

What about this (see the screenshot):
1 - List of all workbenches
2 - Items that would show in the "Workbench" menu

That would allow to pick most often used workbenches, change order and (as menu item) assign keyboard shortcuts.

Quick & dirty, but working solution. Requires FreeCAD restart beacuse I don't know how to call WorkbenchGroup::refreshWorkbenchList() from src/Gui/DlgSettingsWorkbenchesImp.cpp [1] https://github.com/PrzemoF/FreeCAD_sf_master/tree/workbenches [1] https://github.com/PrzemoF/FreeCAD_sf_master/blob...

A simple Alt+number for the 10 most used workbenches would be a big improvement... If we implement this Start menu then you can customize your short cuts as with every command, too. I don't think it's within my current knowledge about FreeCAD/C++ ..... unless I get some help. I think I know how to ...

I need help with understanding what is that code doind or convirmation theh it's invalid (i should be index) [1] // if less workbenches than actions for (int index = numWorkbenches; index < workbenches.count(); index++) { workbenches[i]->setObjectName(QString()); workbenches[i]->setIcon(QIcon()); wo...

What about being able to assign Keyboard Shortcuts to the different Workbenches ? As a user my aim would be to get a working speed advantage. Choosing from a pull-down-menu or clicking in a dockable window is imho no speed advantage (in that case i even would prefer the pull-down-menu as i am used ...

Lot of discussion... My C++ is not good enough to go for a substantial changes, so I'm going to to start small to alleviate the problem. New tab in General Preferences, hard coded checkbox list with all workbenches. A wb found -> checkbox enabled, a wb not found -> checkbox disabled. Then the dropdo...

Sorry for confusion, the function is called offset, not outline. The icon looks a bit like a paperclip cut in half.
