Launcher for certain application #953

Closed martindoublem closed 1 year ago

martindoublem commented 1 year ago

Feature Request

This is a feature I just though about. We could use a launcher for application, where upon clicking on the part of the bar in question we launch the application. The graphics would be an Icon that we specify

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

You can actually do that already, with the spacer module.

It takes text as parameter, which can be an icon, and you can assign it a left-click action, and if that is an application, it gets executed.

Does that help?

martindoublem commented 1 year ago

It does. However can spacers been name individually as I already have several?

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

yes, you can give them aliases (-m spacer:myname -p myname.left-click=firefox)

is that what you mean?

martindoublem commented 1 year ago

Indeed it is, is there a mention of this in the documentation? Apologies if I did not look closely enough.

tobi-wan-kenobi commented 1 year ago

Yes, aliases are part of the docs, but I think pulling all of this (spacer, aliases, left-click attribute) together is not easy to get from the docs :(
