[Feature Request] Add an option to display at most one scratchpad at a time

[cunbidun]

Hey! Thanks for the awesome plugins.

I've got a small feature request. It'd be really helpful if we could add an option to automatically hide visible scratchpads when toggling or creating a different one.

Hi!
If you add:

       "unfocus": "hide"

On each of your scratchpads, do you achieve that or it's not really perfect ?

Hey, thanks for the quick response.

The "unfocus": "hide" feature works perfectly as intended. However, sometimes, I don’t want the scratchpad to disappear when losing focus. For example, when I need to copy and paste commands from a browser to the terminal scratchpad.

It would be easy to have it as a global option for every scratchpad: "exclusive_focus": true, for instance.

Another way could which seems more flexible would be to have a per-scratch attribute telling a list of scratches which should be hidden if this one is shown: "excludes": ["scratchpadX", "otherPad"]

I may prefer the later.
Do you have other ideas or comments about this ? Or suggestions about the naming...

[cunbidun]

Both are good options. I’d prefer the first option. The second sure gives more flexibility, but also adds more implementation complexity

To me it's allowing to do what to expect, I added a shortcut syntax to make it more convenient to configure.
Re-open if I misunderstood or if you get troubles using it.
