Pin apps in application switcher

jerome-caucat commented 6 years ago

Hello,

First of all, thank you for your hard work, this is awesome!

I would like to be able to pin applications in the application switcher (or in a new type of item) in order to have the following behavior:

Show the launched and pinned apps in the list
On click on a pinned app: if the app is not launched: launch the app
On click a pinned app: if the app is launched: switch to the app
Have an option to pin/unpin apps in the list

What do you think? In the meantime I guess I will write custom launchers, probably using wmctrl, but it will not be optimal.

Cheers, Jerome.

While this is a nice idea, I won't have the time to implement this right now. So if anybody want's to do it.... just feel free :)

As Gnome-Pie is now in low-maintanance-mode, I won't have the time to implement this. If you're using GNOME Shell and if you are still interested in this project, you could try out Fly-Pie which is a successor project of Gnome-Pie. Fly-Pie does not yet support the behavior you're looking for, but we can discuss such features over there!
