5 years ago I like this idea. Here is my use case.
As a user, I have 2-4 virtual desktops. I open fman using keypirinha. perform my file operations, then minimize fman When I need to use fman again, I open fman using keypirinha. I expect my existing keypirinha instance on my current virtual desktop to be reused. If I am on another virtual desktop were fman is not open, fman should be opened on that virtual desktop.
The key here is that if fman is already open then it should reuse the existing instance. If a user needs a new fman window instance, they should do something like Ctrl+N or Ctrl+Shift+N

For those who are interrested, I'm currently using an AutoHotkey script to create a keybinding which will start Fman for me if it is not started yet, and if it is already running, activate the window(make it your active/focused window).
e::
SetTitleMatchMode RegEx WinActivate ahk_exe i)\fman.exe$ if (WinExist("ahk_exe fman.exe")) { WinActivate, ahk_exe fman.exe } else { Run, C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\fman\fman.exe WinWait, "ahk_exe fman.exe", , 3 WinActivate, ahk_exe fman.exe }
