Center Junction window under cursor #35

Closed chase9 closed 2 years ago

There is an application for Mac called bumpr which provides much of the same functionality. They default to placing the window under your cursor, which I believe to be the best UI for an application like this.

That's not reasonably doable under Wayland.

Positioning a window is possible but there is no way to retrieve the cursor coordinates.

@sonnyp is it possible at least to get it centered (via config). Currently, I just forced center all windows via gnome-tweaks, but would like to do it just for Junction.

Possibly but GNOME Shell doesn't support it https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/316

There is this org.gnome.mutter center-new-windows dconf setting as a half-solution. :man_shrugging:

Although it's interesting that Ulauncher somehow does it.

How is that a solution to centering Junction only?

It's already documented in the README.md :+1:

Although it's interesting that Ulauncher somehow does it.

It's not a wayland app
