[Feature Request] Add an option to configure Cap window's behavior after closing editor #2491
I started doing all of my screenshots in Cap, so I set my screenshot keybind and have been doing screenshots.
In this flow most annoying thing is cap's main small window appearing again after closing editor with Cmd + W. Which is annoying, since I would prefer to Cap to work in the background.
Reproduction:
Close Cap's window with Cmd + W, so it is still running, but can triggered with keybinds
Hit keybind when needed
Do your thing in editor and hit Cmd + C
Close the editor with Cmd + W
Cap window appears, close it with Cmd +W too
What I am expecting:
It would be cool to see a settings option to control editor's and cap's main window's behavior after certain actions. In this case I would prefer Cap not showing editor and its main windows after actions for faster workflow would be cool to see. It is okay for me to open Cap via clicking "Open Main Window" in menubar.
What I am proposing:
Add option to make Cap's main window be hidden after actions
Add option to do screenshot without opening editor afterwards
Can I work on this issue myself?
Yes, will do when I get some free time and feed this to frontier agent.
