Bug

• When in App Layouts and using the + button on an existing layout to add an existing app to the layout Alicritty is not showing

Facts / Observations

• If open alacritty from the finder (or alfred) then it will show

• If I use open /Applications/Allictritty.app then it will show

Thanks for reporting. I'm not an Alacritty user, so I'll have to download it and see what it's doing here.

Sorry for the delay. I did try this out, and unfortunately it looks like this might not be something that I can fix on the Rectangle Pro end. It's possible that I've overlooked something here, and I'll keep this issue open for when I get a chance to experiment further.

Thank you for the followup.

For anyone else who is possibly running into similar issues I was able to work around this by not using the regular alacritty command but using open instead:

open /Applications/Alacritty.app --args -e CMD

Where CMD is the command you want to run.
