Global Menus

[wannafedor4]

I know that there has probably been a few trillion of these issues, but I have an idea for how it could work.

The problem

So this is how accessing menu items works right now... Absolutely disgusting I know

A sixty-fourth-baked solution

When you click front_app, it should show the global menu items. I don't know C, so I don't know how to do this in the code. I can, however, make an example config:

# some code for the front_app
sketchybar --globalmenu front_app

Which in english is just assigning the global menu to an item sketchybar --globalmenu <item>

This definitely can be done with Hammerspoon's hs.application:getMenuItems, for a relatively simple implementation

There are also C APIs (which Hammerspoon provides a Lua wrapper around) that can be used to directly integrate this into Sketchybar, but I'm not sure if it's necessary.

Also, Menuwhere (paid) includes basically the feature you're requesting.

Paletro (paid), and Raycast (free) have this feature, but in a different UI.

I'll look into this...
