Sketch Artboard History Plugin

Functions

* Limitations (for now):

Switch between two Artboards

• Switch between two Artboards (opt + cmd + a), can be done infinitely.
• only works within one document (the history is overwritten when opening another document / works with the current used document only).

Go Backwards

• Works, but the opposite way is currently not possible.
• only works within one document at the moment due to a bug. On any additionally opened there is a small bug but the caommand mostly works.

Feel free to create an issue if something does not work probably or if you have a feature request.
