[Request] an option for budgie-run-dialog to stay when changing focus #424

Closed voidpointer0x00 closed 5 months ago

voidpointer0x00 commented 1 year ago

Budgie version

budgie-desktop 10.7.2

Use-cases

I use it to start a set of applications at a time and quite often when I launch an application and start typing the next command/name, one of previous apps appear and the budgie-run-dialog is now closed.

So basically the use case is sequential launch of an application chain.

Proposal

I believe the most convenient way to implement this would be a cli option along the lines of --keep-focus or some other. This way it would be possible for the ones interested to reassign the existent Alf+F2 shortcut to run the same command but with a different option or keep the current behaviour and assign another key combination like Alf+F3.

References

At first I thought https://github.com/BuddiesOfBudgie/budgie-desktop/issues/198 was about the same thing, but it is not :) Although, hopefully, if what I request is not a complicated task, it could be implemented along the side of the referenced issue.
