Design patterns for desktop context switching
I'm working on a project which has, mobile / tablet / desktop designs which progressively reveal more content.
In our app we have two key 'modes'. It's similar to an online ide so you could call these modes, editor and visualiser as an example.
In the mobile design it seems logical to have a context switcher as a persistent navigation option. Similar to say Spotify and Twitter mobile apps bottom bar navigation
Whilst we could do this in the desktop version as well, there is more space and I think there could be some desktop specific UX patterns for context switching but not knowing any specific names I'm finding this hard to research.
Does anyone know of any desktop patterns for context switching an app?
