switch to a client GUI using RaySession #59

Hello,

Could it be possible to add an icon to switch to the client GUI.

This will add an option to switch to the client GUI quickly from the ray session especially when you have several client that run the same application (ex: Jamulus Laurent, Jamulus Vincent ...) which is sometimes long to find in the desktop manager (ALT + tab).

BR, Laurent

It's possible, but it takes some thought. Main problem is that this feature won't works on many desktops, particularly on Wayland. The design problem I see, is that the more intuitive would be to affect the client icon to this function. More, it depends on wmctrl which is recommanded but not needed for raysession. Then, even if it works, if client has many windows, a window will be randomly selected.

Obs studio can stream a selected window in the list of opened window.

May be raysession could let the user select the window to associate with the switch icon if the default one is not correct or give a regexp to select the window title to open ? (the first match)
