How to set my desktop as the default desktop?
This should do it:
You don't have to specify a desktop, just check the setting. But if you do specify a desktop, it will be remembered.
We have a similar setting for workspaces:
For the workspace one, you have to actually create a workspace in addition to checking the setting. Then the workspace saves and auto-loads next time you open Toad.
Desktops refer to docked windows like Object Palette, Output window, Code Snippets, Project Manager, etc.
Workspaces refer to connects and MDI windows in Toad (Editor, Schema Browser, etc, and for these windows (but not all), the content of these windows too - open files, object being displayed, etc).
I see that you can set a specific desktop per connection. Will Toad save each desktop per connection next time you open ?
Where did you see that you can set a desktop per connection?
As far as I know, this is not possible, and I don't know how it would work ether since Toad can have multiple connections.
Having several open connections with an open editor per connection, you can set a different desktop for each editor.
Oh, Editor Desktop!
I was thinking about Toad Desktop.
Ok, so the SQL desktop, I think that one opens by default if you just open a fresh editor.
But then if you open a package, it should switch to PLSQL desktop.
I'm not sure about other desktops you might create.
So I think which desktop you get depends on how you open the Editor. I'm not sure of any more details offhand.

Hi,
What i mean is as follows:
how can i set my current editor desktop as the default editor desktop?
I think the default is always SQL. Unless you open an object from the database, then it's PLSQL.
But can can save whatever settings you want to either of those using this button
And you can create whatever other layouts you want also, then switch to them as needed.
If you don't see that button on your editor toolbar, then right-click to enable it
The problem is that I have several tabs in the same editor, and every time I open a new tab, I have to reselect the desktop I want. What I'm looking for is that every new tab I open will automatically use the last desktop I used.
Can't you save the one you want to "SQL"? Or does the one you want vary depending on what you are doing?
