keepassxc minimize on copy of entry (username/password) broken

sway version 1.0-rc1-201-ge9d09646 (Mar 26 2019, branch 'master')

I am using keepassxc and they have an option that, when enabled, leads to the application to want to hide (by minimizing) itself when copying a password, which is really neat!

But with swaywm this is not working anymore. Which made me think:

I do understand that a minimize gui-button or a minimize function that one could bind to a keyboard shortcut does NOT exist and will never exist :grin: But there is the scratchpad, which kind of serves as a replacement from what I got.

And it would be great to avoid /breaking/ functionality like it is the case with keepassxc.

Hence my question: Is there or could you possibly add an option "send windows minimizing themselves to scratchpad" ?? Again I am only aiming to gracefully catch the case where like with keepassxc the program tries to hide itself!

The alternative to unbreak this, would mean that keepassxc instead of sending a minimize call, would need to send a call to swaywm specifically to move the window to scratchpad, which seems... very ugly as solution...
