Don't spawn new window for program started with termite #653

Hi and thanks a lot for termite!

I was wondering if it's possible to start a program like imv or zathura from termite without spawning a new window for the program.

Ranger, Vim, and htop already exhibit the desired behavior: When started, they replace the termite window and once I exit the program (Ranger, Vim, or htop respectively), termite appears in the same window again.

Is this possible for programs that are not textual applications?

I use termite v14 on Arch Linux 4.19.9 with i3 version 4.16.

Not really possible, one option is to "zathura &" to background the zathura process.
