run-or-raise VS jumpapp

For my Gnomies, the Run-or-raise extension [0] is stellar. It does exactly what it says: you bind a key combo to a launcher command, and optionally define a windowname or wm_class query to check for the existence of the program before it's launched. If it's running it's raised, if it's not then it's run. It has options for the window behaviour after toggling, optionally minimising the programs etc.

I can't rate it highly enough. It helped me finally step away from my decade-long i3wm-adhd addition, where everything else failed.

the Run-or-raise extension is so useful, I wish I knew about it earlier, you can switch between your most used apps quickly

I am trying to replicate https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp as a KWin script. Since I decided to use Wayland instead of X11, where jumpapp does not work.

Have a look at jumpapp for full configurability

I have become reliant on jumpapp and really miss it now that I am running hyprland. Has anyone come up with a wayland replacement?

If you're on X11: jumpapp

Maybe checkout https://vickychijwani.me/blazing-fast-application-switching-.... Personally I use jumpapp which does more or less the same thing. https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp.

jumpapp - its a run-or-raise app. Basically, you set up a shortcut for something that you use often (an IDE, a browser, a terminal etc). Once you activate the shortcut, jumpapp will either run the app if its running, or start the app if it isn't.

This may be off-topic, but would you mind sharing your AutoHotKey script? I'm used to Jumpapp on Linux, but I was never able to recreate the same behavior on Windows.

I use jumpapp[0] and find it fantastic for application switching on Manjaro/KDE.

Looks like jumpapp is exactly what you want - provided you're on X11.

Something like this? https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp
