Hello from Fedra.

@TheQuinbox @alexhall Those are basically why I also don't like invisible interfaces, the only reason I enabled it on FastSM is so I can hide the window when I don't need it and bring it back when I do. About that, it would actually be nice if Fedra instead of using control alt F we could change the behavior of alt F4, I know other programs let you minimise to the tray by hitting alt F4, and being able to bring the window back by clicking the desktop or start menu shortcut would also be better, its how I've always done stuff lol.
@alexchapman @alexhall Yeah, I can add a minimize to system tray option to Fedra, but for what it's worth you can customize the window hotkey in the options dialog.

@alexhall The invisible interface is a decently commmon request, and I could possibly have my mind changed on this, but there are a few reasons I didn't add one and don't like them. Firstly, the distraction. I do not need the ability to be able to repeatedly press a button from any window and scroll social media, especially during work. I quite like my job and would like to keep it. Secondly, Microsoft seems hell-bent on making it impossible to have a solid invisible interface across windows updates, we're already at the point of having windows alt ctrl be the only real combo of keys we can use on Windows 11, and what happens when that goes away? Third, it's Windows only. The Mac and Linux don't do this/don't let you do it, and the goal is to have cross-platform Fedra someday soon.
@TheQuinbox I can understand not putting one in, and I'm not asking for one. I love them, but I know not everyone does, and your reasons are definitely valid. I do wish they were more common in other contexts, though. I sometimes throw a commit hash, order number, or the like on my clipboard just so I can hear it anywhere I am with nvda-c. There are a lot of work-related things I'd enjoy having an invisible interface for.

@TheQuinbox @alexhall Oh, but I don't think you can set it to alt F4 as that would conflict with things, like you'd end up hitting alt F4 to bring the window back and be closing the currently focused program lmao.

@alexchapman @TheQuinbox I get what you mean, and I think I agree. Minimizing Fedra to the system tray would keep it out of my alt-tab list, but I can summon it with one hotkey. That's a neat idea. Either options for alt-f4 (minimize, close), or make the global hotkey a focus/minimize hotkey. I can see this being quite nice to have.

@alexhall Oh I fully agree about them being nice in certain contexts, I love one for foobar 2000 for example. I also wouldn't reject a pull request adding one to Fedrta, but I'm not motivated to do it myself.

@TheQuinbox Ah I knew about global keys. Thought you meant an actual UI for a minute. @alexhall

@TheQuinbox Having typed that though, I'm not sure what I'd want it to do lol. @alexhall
