Call Dash without activating it #5

Closed Kapeli closed 9 years ago

Kapeli commented 9 years ago

Brackets-Dash calls Dash by opening a dash:// URL. The problem is that the system forces Dash to become active when this URL is opened.

Currently, this is not an issue. However, a future update of Dash will add support for iOS remotes. While an iOS remote is connected, extensions are redirected to it directly and Dash on OS X is not shown at all. Unfortunately there's no way for me to prevent the system from activating Dash when you open the dash:// URL.

Instead of doing this:

open dash://query

Can you do this?

open -g dash://query

The -g causes Dash to not get activated if it does not want to and the user experience is a lot better as the active app does not lose focus anymore.

It is safe to make this change as soon as possible (no need to wait for a Dash update), as the current version of Dash already knows to activate itself if it needs to.

@cfjedimaster Can you take a look at this when you get a chance?

So I'm confused - if the person isn't using remotes, doesn't this mean Dash won't come to the foreground?

Nope. Dash will activate itself if it needs to. The change just lets Dash decide whether or not it should activate.

Ok, seems good.
