Just tried this out, looks great, I've wanted something like this for a long time!

I often use Cmd-tab to switch between apps on the mac, and I noticed that this search pane shows up in the tab switcher, which can get in the way a bit.

* In vscode, cmd-tab to chrome

* cmd-E to search for something

* cmd-E to close the search (goes back to chrome)

* cmd-tab to go back to vscode (but this goes to browserparrot)

Alfred, a similar search app doesn't do this, and I quite like that behaviour. I found out how to change this, as a user, here, but it would be nice if it was done by default: https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/92004/is-there-a-w...

Thanks for giving it a try, and for the feedback.

Strongly agree. Something like this is on our todo list. Our thinking is an optionally-open, in-the-dock UI to manage settings and a floating non-dock search bar for quick access. Perhaps with a menu bar item to make it clear something is still running.

So the dock app could be closed when not in use, which is would probably be most of the time.

Hey shmapf, Nik here. I know what you mean, Alfred is a great tool.

We’ll be adding an option to run in the taskbar rather than as a full-fledged app-with-dock-icon soon to help with this —- being able to do everything fast and from the keyboard (including switching apps) is high priority for us
