Ueli: [feature request] Add workflows feature

[cosimochellini]

As a user, I like the option to build my own workflow, for example, every working morning i open the same programs (["vs code", "visual studio", "git-fork" .... ]) , a nice feature could be to add the ability to config in the ueli.config.json a list of workflows that run a list of command callable via ueli

maybe something like this 😄 in the .json
"workfolows": [ { "name": "work", "actions": [ { "url": "path\\to\\vs code", "type": "program" }, { "url": "path\\to\\git-fork", "type": "program" }, { "url": "path\\to\\insomnia", "type": "program" }, { "url": "https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev", "type": "link" } ] }, { "name": "home", "actions": [ { "url": "https://www.youtube.com/", "type": "link" }, { "url": "https://www.netflix.com/", "type": "link" } ] } ]

On windows you could do something like this
>cmd.exe /k "start https://google.com & start https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev & code"

but currently there is an issue here https://github.com/oliverschwendener/ueli/blob/d3ecfb429de4d70c0613e2271b32dca742991b6c/src/ts/helpers/string-helpers.ts#L26-L31 thats splits everything to seperate command. When you would replace .split(/\s/g); to .match(/"(?:\\"|\\\\|[^"])*"|\S+/g); it would work.

EDIT: Actually i would do this

Lines 6-8

public static splitIntoWords(value: string): string[] {
        return value.match(/"(?:\\"|\\\\|[^"])*"|\S+/g) || [""];
    }

And lines 26-31

    public static stringToWords(value: string): string[] {
        const words = StringHelpers.splitIntoWords(value);
        return words.filter((w): boolean => {
            return !StringHelpers.stringIsWhiteSpace(w);
        });
    }

I tried to fork and thest this but i'm getting Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'worker_threads' in 'C:\Users\AlanAasmaa\Code\ueli\node_modules\write-file-atomic so maybe next time.

Good idea! Because I am working on a total rewrite you have to wait for this until I release a next major version.

This is included in the newest v8.0.0 release.
