The Hub and Switch Character in GWonMac
Search places, people, characters, builds, settings and prices from inside Guild Wars with the Hub, and swap characters with Switch Character.
The Hub is one search box over the game. Type what you want, move with the arrow keys, and press Enter.
Hub
The Hub finds the tools you have turned on, plus places, people, characters, saved builds and teams, accounts, settings, and calculations. The footer names what Enter will do. The header shows your character and where you are.
The game keeps running while the Hub is open. Press Escape to step back, and again to close it.
- Turn on: always on, even with Tools off. See Hub in Settings → Tools.
- Open: ⌘ R in a game window, or View → Hub — Command Palette. If you gave ⌘ R to another feature, that feature wins and the menu item still opens the Hub.
- Limits: a tool that is off does not appear in search. While a map loads, at character selection, or in PvP, rows that cannot act stay in the list and say why.

Switch Character shows your characters as cards. Choose one and the game signs in to it without going through a logout. It also works from the character-selection screen.
