Minimize to tray functionality

[repnz-scasb]

Would it be possible to implement functionality that when one presses "ESC" the app minimizes to tray?

Thanks.

Yes, that's possible and already planned. I just need to figure out how to implement it in order to support most or all desktops (plasma5, unity, xfce, ...).

Additionally, I would like it to minimize to tray automatically after I double-click on a file.

Has it come to true?

[cboxdoerfer]

@l0rraine, no not yet. With the GNOME developers removing the tray in GNOME Shell and the deprecation of the status icon API in GTK+, at least I don't have to bother with their crap anymore. So it seems we either need to go for Appindicator or StatusNotifier but I don't know how well they are supported on the common platforms. Need to do some research on that.

It is nice that it will minimize to the active application area of the bar, any chance there could be an always running daemon/ taskbar icon with a global hotkey that pulls up the search window similar to https://github.com/stnkl/EverythingToolbar ? (not the actual searching from the task bar portion, I like the current standalone window. Just the fact that its already open and there. Side note as well, I wish you could actually have an image preview when searching for images)

It would be great if it ran like a daemon, to always keep the search results refreshed in the background, similar to Albert. Have it do a full search refresh upon first opening it, unfortunately, feels like it... not defeats the purpose, but is more like a step in the wrong direction toward the goal of being able to quickly find what you are after. If it ran as a taskbar daemon upon login and then just refreshed the search index now and then, if you say, pressed ctrl + alt + f at any time, it could pop up, fully loaded, indexed, and ready to go.
