Open pkieltyka opened 5 years ago

pkieltyka commented 5 years ago

Make it easy to setup scratch pads for different kind of apps on a hotkey.

ie.

terminal scratch pad
notion.so scratch pad (browser window to a url)
google search scratch pad (browser window for general use)

This is my current strategy for this, but I'm not 100% happy with it:

The main thing I want is I'd rather it didn't necessarily open the app on-start, but rather I want it to open it iff it's not already open. That is, if I close my tmux session at some point, I want it to automatically reopen next time I open that scratchpad.
