Tray default action on a mouse click

Open noohi opened this issue 6 months ago • 3 comments

What would you like to add or change?: Left-clicking on a tray should open the app, not the context menu.

Why do you and others need this?: For faster opening, unnecessary clicks are slowing down the flow. Left-clicking on a tray always opens apps, while right-click is the menu. Currently both left and right clicks on the tray icon are the right-click (aka context) menu.

Hi. I suppose you're referring to Windows. We're currently working on Portmaster v2, which will be released soon. In this version, a left-click on the tray icon will open the application window.
