Description of the new feature / enhancement

I want an easier way to access my workspaces. Once I’ve set up a workspace, I don’t want to open the editor or double-click a link file every time. Instead, I’d like a window to appear when I use a shortcut. In this window, I could quickly select my workspace by clicking on it or pressing a corresponding number, for example.

Scenario when this would be used?

Scenario for Using Shortcuts for Workspaces
Imagine you're a developer or designer working on multiple projects simultaneously, such as:

Project A: Frontend development for a website.
Project B: Backend API for a mobile app.
Project C: Personal blog writing.
Each project has its own workspace with relevant files, configurations, and tools. Switching between them is frequent, and efficiency is key.

How the Shortcut Improves Workflow:
You’ve already set up your workspaces for each project.
Instead of:
Opening the editor manually,
Navigating through menus, or
Searching for a link file to launch the workspace,
you press a keyboard shortcut (e.g., Ctrl+Alt+W).
A small window pops up listing your saved workspaces:
1: Frontend Website
2: Backend API
3: Blog Writing
You quickly press 1, and the workspace for Project A opens immediately, ready for use.
Benefits in This Scenario:
Saves time by reducing repetitive actions.
Keeps focus intact by minimizing interruptions.
Streamlines switching between projects, especially in fast-paced or multitasking environments.
