Navigation between Panels in a Layout
With Logos 8 on Windows 10 is there a way from each panel to navigate between Panels other than using the os <alt> <tab> or the logos taskbar icon?

To my knowledge only if you have your panels all in floating windows.
Sorry should have said Panels in Windows.
When a Layout has Panels spread across multiple Windows the only navigation options that I am aware of are the Windows OS ones.
In adapting some of my normal work flow to 8 moving some Panels to new Windows seems logical but with 5 Windows rather than 3 the limited navigation available within Logos makes this problematic. As a minimum it would help if each child window had a quick way to return to the parent/main/home given that this is the effective control centre.

Uh... is it too obvious to say with a mouse?

For panels that are tabs in the active Window this is then the mouse works.
It's switching to other Windows with Panels that I'm thinking I'm missing something.

I am on a Mac, which has a keyboard shortcut for switching between windows of the same app. I was surprised to see that Windows doesn't have that (I think it used to back when I was on Windows). I looked around and found this page which explains how to get a shortcut back for switching between open windows of the same program—it involves buying a $5 program, but maybe it will do the trick for you.

Switching between windows of the same application: If you pin Logos to the Windows taskbar and position it within the first 10 slots from the left (top), you can use Windows Key + [upper number keys 1-0] to switch. That's one I didn't know before now. Also there are quite a few free utilities that do this as Levi indicates.

I've been using 5 windows for Logos for years. The alt-tab is maddening, since the sort's been last-used. I don't have W10, but earlier editions, the sidebar icons were/are in the order of first-used. And Logos saved layouts respected first-opened. So, the 'home base' was always a quick click at the top or left icon ... granted no quick key, though it is programmable.
Edit: Maybe combine Randy's numeric keys with Logos remembering the opened sequence in your layout.

<alt> <tab> or the task bar icon work at the Windows operating system level I just noticed that after 3 windows it gets a bit clumsy and feels more like a random set of Windows rather than an integrated layout.
There are some updates on the horizon that may see me reduce the number of Windows back to 3 so this might go away for me. I can see some real potential for multi Windows layouts but have concluded that Logos would ideally have a Windows management tool to make this easier.

Thank you!
