Custom Actions & Command, Add support for keep Listary open when run command.
Example when i create an custom command the .bat run’s but Listary search engine dissapears. Is there maybe an option when I run the .bat the Search engine stays open?
I like to have it optional for some commands, not everything ofcourse.
Kind Regards.
Since Listary is a launcher designed for quick actions, it automatically closes right after you open a file or run a command.
What’s your reason for wanting the window to stay open after running a command? We’d love to understand your use case better!
Example some website’s have an search engine but are hidden in the url code.
Let say example Google has the prefix/syntax.
https://www.google.com/search?q=Listary
https://www.google.com/search?q={query}
But some website’s are hidden, and you can bypass this with an macro program.
Example you can use an macro recoder to record the mouse and keyboard function.
Let’s say you type in Listary Google “Listary”.
Then when you’re macro closes the Google “Listary” get’s forgotten because the .exe is running.
But let’s say it stays open instead then this happends.
It leaves Google “Listary” open and what it does inside the macro.
It presses Home.
Then you press right arrow 7 times it selects copy Listary text.
The selected text get searched inside the search engine where you don’t have the syntax/prefix from. And with Escape I can program Listary to close when ever I want myself.
I also want something similar.
My usecase is opening files with a code editor. I want to be able to open a file, but keep exploring the other files the search returned.
I think having a checkbox in the Actions panel telling if an action should leave the quick search open would work.
