small wish: activate TC from systray directly

Post by *Raymond »

Now by Alt+Tab (plus Enter sometimes) TC can be reactivated from systray.
How about an internal command, something like cm_activate, brings back TC directly?
I guess it may not be difficult. foobar2000 can do this with a single keystroke.

A workaround: create a shortcut on the desktop for TC (most likely there is already one), open its properties, and define a shortcut key. This shortcut key will be used to start TC if none is running, but if an instance has already been started, then it will simply activate the TC window, even if minimized to the tray.
I switched to Linux, bye and thanks for all the fish!

I just tried it. A little problem: when there's another window in front, the shortcut brings TC from systray to taskbar, but TC main window isn't back to front. Pressing the shortcut twice does the trick though.

If you have the setting "Prevent applications from stealing focus" enabled, then you get this behaviour. You can turn this off by using TweakUI.
