Bug: Command-H does not hide the application #214

Closed aleshh closed 5 months ago

aleshh commented 5 months ago

Describe the bug On macOS, the Command-H keyboard shortcut does not work correctly. It should hide the application, instead it makes it inactive but keeps it on the screen. This also prevents other applications from hiding Heynote, e.g. "Hide Other Qindows."

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Activate Heynote
  2. Type Command-H or select "Hide Heynote" from the Heynote menu

Expected behavior Heynote hides

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Strange! I'm not able to reproduce this on MacOS 13.5.1.

aleshh commented 5 months ago

Ugh, my bad—I just updated the application and the problem went away

👍

If you didn't try restarting Heynote when you were experiencing the bug (but maybe you did?), it could be that it was the restart that fixed it, and that the bug still exists in some edge case.

I'm still seeing this on 1.7.0 when I don't show the app in the dock, or after enabling the setting to show it in the dock it then won't hide until restarted

I'm seeing the same thing as @kristojorg on the 1.8 beta channel.

If Show In Dock is enabled, then Cmd+H works.

If Show In Dock is disabled, then Cmd+H does not work.

I think this is how MacOS is intended to work. Cmd-H does not work on menu-bar applications. I wish it weren't so, but for this reason I run Heynote as a dock app: lets me hide it with the keyboard shortcut and other system utilities.

I should probably have opened a separate issue cuz this is really an "X/Y problem" situation.

What I'm really looking for is a way to launch HeyNote at login without the main window popping up. I run it as a menu bar only app to keep my Cmd Tab situation clean. But that also means the "hide at login" option doesn't work cuz it doesn't receive the Hide event.
