Ferdi: System tray icon default action

Created on 16 Jan 2020  路  8Comments  路  Source: getferdi/ferdi

on macOS the system tray icon opens a droptdown with two options (show/quit ferdi)
it would be nice if a single click on the tray icon would show ferdi - now you need to click twice to show the app every time.

the desired behavior can for example be examined with the telegram desktop app on mac where a single click opens the app and a second click opens the menu. left and right clicks would also be fine :)

This would be a great change! I'd suggest that a single primary/left click opens the app, and a secondary/right click opens the menu.

Thank you for the suggestions @flinguin @squatto 馃檹

As suggested per @m-vlad in https://github.com/getferdi/ferdi/issues/388, we could also:

Make the click on the tray icon minimize the app back.

So I suggest a simple click on the tray icon toggle the tray minimization, and right click shows the menu.

Quick update:

a simple click on the tray icon toggle the tray minimization, and right click shows the menu

Also moved the Windows-specific setting next to the other tray-related settings:

Shipped in v5.4.4-beta.2.

It seems on Linux/X11 using this beta makes the systray icon be hidden for me. Can anyone confirm that?
