Is it possible to reset window layout in Visual Studio for Mac? I am able to do this for Visual Studios on Windows, but not on Mac version.

You can press the view tab to change the different layouts or create one of your own.
Additional informations can be found here:

I met this problem also, Visual Studio for Mac can't reset Window Layout in UI. But you can easily customize the Window Layout. Just select "View->Pads/Debug Pads" to decide what window you want to show on the dashboard. enter image description here
Just to have a more up-to-date answer: when you quit Visual Studio Mac 2019, any changes made to the active layout will be reset to how the layout was saved.
From the Visual Studio Website:"There is always one active layout and any change you make in a layout, such as adding or repositioning a pad, will only change the active layout. Once you close Visual Studio for Mac, the changes you have made will not be saved." Visual Studio Website - Customising The IDE
I've tested it out for Visual Studio Community 2019 for Mac Version 8.7.8 (build 4), and now it really does just reset when you quit the app, unless you have specifically saved any changes as a new layout.
