[Feature Request] Add tags to existing programs

Open FunctionDJ opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

We have custom shortcuts, which are amazing. But personally i only use them to make links to programs that ueli lists anyway, just with another tag or name to make it faster to open. For example, i use Firefox as my browser, and i set up a "ff" shortcut to open it.

A tab to add tags to existing entries would be awesome, but maybe it would be simpler to simply have an import function to import a searched item into the Shortcuts tab, setting the name, the programs icon and everything to default. Then the user can customize the name, tags, icon etc.

Optimally, this would replace the actual entry that ueli would show when searching for "Firefox" in order to remove duplicate entries. The matching could be done by the execution argument / file path. To allow for entries that just launch a program with some additional flags, but the user wants the normal entry in ueli to continue to show up, maybe a flag is needed "deduplicate" / "replace normal entry in results" or something like that.

Let me know what you think!

My current shortcuts to illustrate my case:
