How to fast move between my projects opened in Qt Creator
-
Lets say, I have 5 projects open in Qt Creator: App1 App2 ... App5
I dont want to click on Qt Creator icon and choose app I need in the moment
Is there a way to use some shortcut like Ctrl+K -> type App1 to instanly get where I want?
I dont want to open all projects in one Window
I need more sophisticated way if its exist, if not, I could consider workarounds -

This part confuses me. Do you want to open App1 through App5 in a single Qt Creator (window) or not?
If you open several projects inside the same session the currently active one can be selected at the bottom left (usually just used to select between release and debug builds). You can quickly get there by hitting Ctrl+T (using arrow keys to select what you actually want). The downside is that the files from all projects are open and it can get messy quite quickly (especially if the different projects are not related to one another).
Otherwise you need to create sessions. Each session will have open projects assigned (most likely just a single project in your case) and currently open files. You can switch session through the menu File->Sessions->(Pick a session). I don't know any real shortcut for that, but you can use Alt+F to open the file menu and then 'e' to select the sessions submenu. The individual sessions have numbers assigned. (The documentation https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-managing-sessions.html says that you can use Ctrl+Alt+<Number> to quickly switch between sessions. It also mentions Ctrl+K -> t to locate sessions (I guess 't' will list all menu entries). The documentation https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-editor-locator.html further explains that you need to type "t sess <session name>" to switch to a session by name inside the locator. I guess I also learned something today 😊.)
