Feature Request: Automatically Launch and Arrange Applications in Fullscreen on Specific Displays

I would like to use Rectangle Pro to automatically launch specific applications in fullscreen mode on designated displays.

Specifically, I am interested in:

• Is it currently possible to configure Rectangle Pro to automatically launch an application in fullscreen mode on a specific display? (or when the application is launched to activate this app layout)
• If not, can this functionality be achieved through a workaround, such as using a shell script with Rectangle Pro to move the application to a specific display and activate fullscreen mode?

I currently use app layout and cli/terminal open -g "rectangle-pro://execute-layout?name=applayout1" for this functionality but was wondering if you can add support for full screen application layout...

Thank you for considering this feature request!

Sorry for the delayed response. Technically, it should be possible, although it would be susceptible to timing issues where the command to full screen could get executed before the application is able to respond to it. I'll take a look and see how difficult it is to get timing right.

In the meantime you could try creating a shell script that executes the rectangle-pro url, waits a bit, then executes the keyboard shortcut for full screen.
