Restricting applications to window they were launched in

[walseb]

Hello!

When launching an application that takes a while to start up, it will be placed in the currently selected window when it eventually launches.

Oftentimes, while it's launching I'm working on something else to fill out the time, and when it's done loading it interrupts my work elsewhere which is pretty annoying.

I think a superior solution would be to somehow restrict it to the window I had selected when it was launched. And if that window is gone, it would be great if it could just be placed at the top of the buffer list instead of switching the active window.

Does anyone know whether something like this is already implemented elsewhere? If not, any thoughts on how to implement it?

Thanks!
