GUI

Are there any plans for a GUI?

@wincmd64 There are actually!

Now that you're here, I'd love to know the features you'd like to see in there though :)

What I'm looking for to add so far:

  • First and foremost, have a nicer out-of-box experience, pointing users to where the configuration file is, where the logs are, where the docs are and such;
  • Some guidance around how to set up an initial config, especially since Windows Terminal has a couple gotchas going on;
  • An easier way to find running applications that can be used with WTQ, and how they can be used in configuration;
  • Allow an app to be attached/detached (especially useful for the "Manual" attach mode);
  • Notifications for when stuff goes wrong, which is currently only available in the log;
  • Perhaps some kind of overlay/notification thing that shows what apps are attached, like a temporary tab bar of sorts;
  • Helper to find out what configuration to use for certain key presses;
  • Helper to find out monitor indices;

Looking into using Photino + Blazor for this, but that's not set in stone.

I don't want to edit the config manually. I want to specify the application(s) and select a hotkey for them in simple GUI.

@wincmd64 Fair enough!

I'm adding this to the list, thank you for your feedback.

I'll respond to this issue when there's an update.

One of the main points for v2.0.12.

The first iteration for the GUI will be available in v2.0.12.

It's very much a work in progress, but all of the foundational work has been done, after which I'll make separate issues per GUI screen/function.
