Waveboxapp: [Request] Remember last selected service when switching accounts

[dzg]

I would like the option to have Wavebox remember which service 'tab' I was in when switching back to an account.

For example, if I am in Google Calendar (Service #2) of Account 1, then switch to my WhatsApp account, then go back to Account 1, it always takes me back to Gmail (Service #1). I would rather it remember that I was in Calendar.

Hello @dzg,

I believe this is reported in:
https://github.com/wavebox/waveboxapp/issues/350
and
https://github.com/wavebox/waveboxapp/issues/85

Does those pretty much cover what it is that you where requesting?

Hi @nmat

I read those, and, no, not really what I mean. I don't really care about going to Inbox, or about the default service.

Let's say I have a Google Doc open in my first Account ... this is in the 2nd 'tab' or Service for Account 1.

I am copying/pasting info between that window, and my 5th Account, which is WhatsApp. I am wanting to quickly switch back and forth between these 2 tabs: Account 1 Service 2 and Account 5 Service 1.

I want to do this by keystroke Cmd-1 and Cmd-5.

But whenever I switch back to Account 1 with Cmd-1, it always takes me back to Account 1 Service 1 which is the Gmail window. So I would have to type Cmd-1 and then Cmd-Opt-2 to accomplish this.

I want Wavebox to remember that I was in Account 1 Service 2

Does that make sense?

[nmat]

Yeah that makes sense. Like "Remember last used place"....I just think I have heard about it before here but do not know exactly which ticket. Just very familiar to me. And yes you are right. I think the state should be saved if you select an option to use last used service/service index.

I think this is something we can look to add in. It would certainly make switching a lot easier
