Use Gala interface for launch/focus #593

Closed danirabbit closed 5 months ago

Problem

launching behavior between the applications menu and the dock now differs because we have better wm integration in the dock

Proposal

We should re-use the behavior from the dock where we activate apps with 0 windows, focus with 1 window, and window spread for 2 or more windows

Should we? The thing is, how do I open another window?

danirabbit commented 5 months ago

@tintou you can use "New window" from the context menu, we can set up middle click as described here: https://github.com/elementary/dock/issues/77#issuecomment-1821781386 or use whatever mechanism that exists in the app for creating a new window :woman_shrugging:
