Multiple Tool Windows Open on Every Click in macOS – No Window Reuse

Open h714671145 opened this issue 1 month ago • 3 comments

On macOS, every time I click a tool in Reqable (e.g., JSON, URL, etc.), it opens a new window instead of reusing or focusing the existing one. This results in many duplicate windows piling up, making the UI cluttered and hard to manage. To close them all, I often have to quit Reqable entirely—there’s no efficient way to dismiss all tool windows at once.  Describe the solution you'd like  When a tool is already open, clicking it again should bring the existing window to the front instead of creating a new instance. Ideally, there should also be an option (e.g., in Preferences) to control this behavior: “Reuse window” vs. “Allow multiple instances.”  Additionally, consider implementing a unified tool window—a single, tabbed or panel-based interface where all tools can be accessed and managed together (similar to developer IDEs). This would reduce window sprawl and improve usability on macOS.  Describe alternatives you've considered  I’ve manually closed windows one by one, but it’s tedious when dozens are open. Another alternative would be adding a “Close All Tool Windows” menu command, but preventing unnecessary duplication—or consolidating tools into a central workspace—is a more sustainable and user-friendly approach.

@h714671145 您好,感谢反馈,我直接中文回答这个问题了。在设计上是这样可以打开多个相同窗口,因为多个窗口方便进行内容差异化对比。也许,我们应该在设置中新增一个开关选项进行控制。

再补充一下导致我打开很多窗口的原因: 在使用工具时,当我切换至Reqable到的IDE主窗口或其他 APP窗口时,当我再次想使用Reqable工具,切回Reqable时,我不得不重新打开一个工具,因为Reqable 的IDE主窗口挡住了背后的工具窗口

后面设置里面加个选项好了。
