Toggling Window Visibility

[panckreous]

Some lighter apps like this let me toggle the visibility of the window with the same hotkey, which I generally find useful, vs the standard cmd w, which feels more appropriate for heavier apps. That being said, I'm only speaking for myself and dont know how many others would agree.

• Have you considered letting the same shortcut toggle the visibility of the window, not just open?
• For app that use cmd w, I find the best usability comes when there's also a cmd 0 to show the window again. (first example I can think of offhand: macos Notes app)

It worked like that initially but the implementation constantly broke and I removed it. I will take some time to revisit this in the future.

One more thing I just noticed: when the window is open I can cmd q as well. I expect this to quit the application, but it only closes the window and the application remains active in the toolbar.

I think the expected action on macos would be the entire application quiting.

First example that came to mind that is similar in terms of window, menu icon, close and quit is Snippets Lab (https://www.renfei.org/snippets-lab/)
